The Seahawks bolstered their depth in the backfield Saturday, taking Arkansas running back Alex Collins with the 171st pick (5th round) of the NFL draft.
Collins was a compensatory selection.
Collins surpassed the 1,000-yard mark in each of his three years with the Razorbacks. Last season as a junior, he had 271 carries for 1,577 rushing yards (5.8 yards-per-carry) and 20 touchdowns in 13 games.
