Collins projects best in a Cover-3 dominant system due to his excellent length and ability to play with a deep cushion and make plays on the ball.
Collins could immediately contribute as a nickel corner or outside depth, with the potential to develop into a starting boundary corner aligning to bigger receivers.
A man-heavy scheme that requires consistent press-man coverage and quick-twitch changes of direction, as his footwork and hip fluidity are inconsistent.
A scheme that maximizes his length and ball skills in zone coverage, while minimizing his need for immediate-impact reactive agility, will be ideal.
Selected #42 overall in Round 2 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Atlanta Falcons out of LSU.
