02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Outside zone run schemes emphasize his ability to make sharp cuts and accelerate through the tackle, leveraging his good vision to find running lanes.
one-cut backzone scheme RBgoal-line back
Best role
Year 1 rotational runner, developing into a starting outside zone back with good volume.
Wrong fit
Spread RPO offenses that require frequent receiving and open-field elusiveness are a poor fit.
Collins projects best as a durable, chain-moving back in a scheme that prioritizes downhill running.
