Completely agree. By the end of the season, Mills and Collins were our top 2 DBs IMO.

Collins was on the freshman all SEC team and Mills freshman all american.

Collins was 3rd on the team in passes defended and had 2 huge INTs. 1 vs TAMU and the other vs Ole Miss that resulted in a Ware TD. Almost made 1 of the plays of the year IMO when he tipped that pass to Martin for an INT vs Idaho. Great field awareness and just an amazingly hard play to make.

Mills was as good a freshman CB ive seen when it comes to man to man coverage. Hes always on the WRs hip pocket. Made 1 mistake all season vs Bama that turned out to be the biggest mistake of the year for the defense. Yeldon sold the play perfectly. Mills was 1v1 with Yeldon with the option to blitz if Yeldon blocks. Yeldon went like he was blocking and Mills went after the QB. Then Yeldon turned around and the screen was set up perfectly. Tough play to make for a seasoned vet, let alone a TRUE freshman DB.
