The Seattle Seahawks surprised a lot of people when they drafted running back Alex Collins out of Arkansas. The Seahawks already have their feature back in Thomas Rawls, and they’d drafted their third-down specialist back in Round 3. This was perhaps a luxury pick, but one that could pay huge dividends for Seattle in the very near future.
The first thing that jumps out when watching Collins’ tape is that his feet are insanely fast. He take these short little choppy steps, but his feet move so fast that he still has great speed.
His running style is unique, but it also reminds me of Marshawn Lynch.
