After Seattle cut 7th round pick Zac Brooks and converted CB George Farmer, it narrowed down the options for the 4th running back spot. Both Troymaine Pope and Alex Collins excelled during the 4th preseason game. So, the winner of the roster spot is anyone’s guess.
Alex Collins was a highly touted draft prospect who came to Seattle with incredibly high fan expectations. Troymaine Pope was a roster filler who ended up stealing the spotlight. Each back has his advantages and disadvantages. Both have the potential to be special players in Seattle.
The Case For Alex Collins:
Alex Collins has reportedly impressed during training camp, but his performance has yet to transfer into the games.
