Meet the new running back for the Seattle Seahawks: Alex Collins. He was the first true freshman to start his career with three 100-yard performances since Adrian Peterson in 2004.
In his first two years on the team, Collins stacked up more than 1,000 yards each year (1,026 with 4 TD in 2013, 1,100 with 12 TD in 2014), joining Darren McFadden as the only Arkansas backs to do so, even though he shared the field with running mate Jonathan Williams.
When Williams went down with an injury in 2015, Collins’s carries increased from 204 in 2014 to 271 in 2015 as did his production (1,577 yards, 20 TD).
