The Giants' defensive scheme could be characterized as a hybrid 4-3 multiple-front system with an emphasis on creating pressure and utilizing versatile secondary players.
Collins could immediately contribute as a starting strong safety, able to play effectively close to the line of scrimmage, with the ceiling to be an All-Pro caliber run defender and occasional pass rusher.
A purely single-high, deep-coverage safety scheme where his ball-hawking and tackling skills as a downhill player are underutilized.
His size, athleticism, and aggressive play style are perfectly suited for a strong safety role where he can impact the run game and provide reliable short-zone coverage.
Selected #33 overall in Round 2 of the 2015 NFL Draft by New York Giants out of Alabama.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
