Alex Collins, the Seahawks' fifth-round pick in the draft, is a big and powerful runner, but he also is light on his feet as a dancer.
The Seahawks drafted Arkansas running back Alex Collins in the fifth round on Saturday, but they also drafted Irish dancer Mitchell Findley, and if that doesn’t make any sense, let us explain.
Collins, a powerful 217-pound running back who Seahawks scout Aaron Hineline described as a big, physical and violent runner, spent part of his preparation for the NFL draft Irish dancing. Collins decided that if he was going to Irish dance, he wanted to watch the best, Michael Flatley, he of the Lord of the Dance fame.
