Collins wasn't the same back after he came back from the broken leg. He was the second best RB at McNeese while he was there.

Collins would've easily won the Heisman during his career.

That's such a small sample size though. Bryce Brown first two starts last year in the NFL were ridiculous

19 178 2 TDs
24 169 2 TDs

After that, he looked like complete garbage. This was what they said was a can't miss back but had trouble just like Collins, and he didn't get to play college ball but one year. Not enough data, and possibly could have flaked out after those couple of game.
