What is Will campbell’s support system like so we know he won’t spend 15 years in prison like Cecil Collins?

People talk about Cecil for what he was. Fantastic over 4 games.

He was incredible


Check the defensive ratings of the 4 teams Collins played against.
UTEP 44 total defense
MISS St. 35 total defense
Auburn 38 total defense
Akron 112 total defense

Check his offensive linemen and how good they were
Alan Faneca All american first team, A six-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowl selection

Todd McClure All SEC center 13 year pro career, During his second season he took over as the Falcons starting center after Calvin Collins was moved to guard. Since then he missed only one game and was the Falcons starting center from 2000 until his retirement after the 2012 season.

Fantastic, incredible are words for people like Faneca and McClure that proved over a long period of time greatness.

Will Campbell has been awesome obviously but not jaw dropping due to position.

Cecil, Hone Badger and Perkins have on par IMO in terms of all time impressive

So 3 out of 4 were top 50 defenses?

Not sure this is the point you were trying to make.

You lost me here. Dude smoked pot like 90% of other kids his age and 90% of suburban moms these days. This shite sounds like they found him sprawled on the floor of a trap house.

Go back and watch the SECCG and NC game and tell me he wasn’t good.

He was a 1000yd rusher and had 6 games where he had single digit carries. He averaged 6.5ypc as well. MVP of both final games of the 2003 season.

It went over your head, the incredible, fantastic super good players on that team were Faneca and McClure.

Faulk, Mealy and Tyler all were good and made better by two offensive linemen that combined played 26 years in the NFL

Uninformed fans throw accolades to Collins that ran behind two elite linemen and only 4 games against teams with defenses that were not in the top 34 ranked at the end of the season.

Maybe the point is a peeping Tom perverted football player being put on a pedestal every season as a superhero, that really never proved himself over a period of time and compared to outstanding individuals that established themselves is just creepy

Dalton Hilliard and Tommy Hodson are the only other freshmen I can remember having such an impact.

You probably should re-read my post.

I was correcting another poster that Collins was not a legendary player or all-time great. He had an awesome 4 games. Nothing more.

But trying to diminish the fact that those 4 games were outstanding, due to his off-field crimes is a bit petty.
