He has major athletic ability,” said one scout of Collins’ LB-leading vertical jump (41½) and broad jump (11-7). “Tested off the charts. He played walkaway outside backer and as a defensive end. He can be a ‘will’ in a 4-3, a ‘will’ in a 3-4 or a 3-4 rush backer. But he’s not very smart (Wonderlic of 17).” Played far better as a junior than for a winless team in ’12. “He dogged it this year,” another scout said. “He hated the staff, and probably was right in doing so. Need to watch junior tape. He’s very athletic but not physical. Hit or miss, feast or famine.
