When the Seattle Seahawks selected running back Alex Collins on day-three of this past year’s NFL Draft, I was thrilled. He was as consistent as any runner in the country during his three years at Arkansas, tallying three straight 1,000-yard seasons. While watching running backs during the pre-draft process, Collins was among the three players I identified as backs I would love for the Seahawks to add. And, after he was kept over preseason darling Troymaine Pope in late August, I wrote why I believed the team kept him over Pope, and why fans could have reason for optimism with Collins.
Alex Collins could be the key to the run game right now
