jesus christ. Cecil Collins is like some mythological creature where we can just make up shite.

size? no, not really. He was only about 5'8" 205-210. he was not a big back, he a little below average.

Speed? very average. He ran a 4.5 in pre-draft workouts. Faulk was a little faster at 4.48.

quote:
"Collins has put up a faster time than the 4.41 he had run at the combine, the second-fastest time clocked in Indianapolis. It's also slightly faster than that of most NFL running backs.

quote:
then grossly out performed the urban legend in the NFL in a YPC basis

Collins 3.2 YPC & Faulk 3.4 YPC as NFL Rookies..

Pretty good article for people who don't know & want to know "What all the Damn Fuss was about" Sports Illustrated 1999:
