La'el Collins is really fast

Excerpt from CNN.com article:
. The most fascinating play in that matchup was courtesy of Dallas' ground attack. Rookie guard La'el Collins -- all 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds of him -- channeled Hall of Famer Larry Allen's incredible motor, reaching 18.25 mph after pancake-blocking Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix on Darren McFadden's 45-yard scamper. Running stride for stride with McFadden, Collins' max speed was faster than Clinton-Dix's 18.06 on the play.
For comparison's sake, Eddie Lacy's fastest speed in the same game was just 15.63 mph on 148 yards from scrimmage. In fact, Lacy has surpassed Collins' 18.25 mph in only one game this season.

That's so great, it looks fake. Could you imagine him in short yardage situations? He's super athletic.

Yeah McFadden would have passed him up eventually. But still, Collins can move!

What's also impressive is that they guy he pancaked made the tackle...

Unfortunately the impressive thing is after getting pancaked Ha Ha made the tackle

I really want to know what Collins would be like if he lost 100 pounds. For all we know there could be the fastest player in football under all of that fat.

I'd link the article lest ye thread be anchored matey

Collins pancaked him 8 yards downfield which allowed Hasean to get up and still be within range of Mcfadden

Incredible play by Collins. Even better is watching Clinton-Dix. Look at how fast he is able to bounce back up and get back to full speed.

That wasn't a pancake.

I thought the same thing. Collins can really get after it, but Ha Ha showed a lot of hustle too.

My thought as well. He pushed him down, not muscled him to the ground in a head to head match.

I can't believe every team passed on him in the late rounds

well in fairness, he got pancaked about 12 yards forward so he had some help

Only because the safety(43) made a play and took LC's attention. Otherwise Ha-Ha would have been plowed under a second time on the same play.
