I never saw Collins play. Who is/was the better prospect?

Collins did alot of damage on offense his senior year a few people started to think he could be a tailback in college after that year. But as a coverage safety/corner I think jones has the edge. Collins is a big hitter when I looked at his highlights covering wrs didn't stand out to me as with jones.

Collins is one of the most impressive ath's I've seen, but can get lost in coverage. Hootie has better instincts.

Hootie is the better songwriter. From a pure musician standpoint, its Collins.

Hootie. He's better in coverage as a CB and I actually think he's slightly more athletic. Better lateral quickness. The difference between them at the same age isn't very big. But Hootie gets the edge because he has the hips to be a starting cornerback for over 90% of teams in the country.

IMO Collins will be a beast Strong Safety, but I think Hootie has more potential for both safety positions.

Hate on LC all y'all want because he went to bama, but he is an absolute animal. He will be a beast before he's done in Tuscaloosa

Hootie is a great prospect as well, but I don't think he's quite as special as Landon. At least not yet

Landon Collins was the Gatorade player of the year and Mr. La Football so I give the edge to LC. Hootie has more to prove imo.

Hootie is a nice player, but he's not in LC's realm IMO.

Landon might have been the best safety to come out of La in a long time.

I think he will be a better college safety then loston, Reid, Mayes, Barron, jones, steltz and possibly Landry. Collins is a fricking stud. When he picked bama, a little bit of me died inside.

Laron was one of the most impressive safeties I have ever seen.

We don't know enough about hootie yet. All these rankings will change throughout the senior year.

better prospect all around? Collins… dude was a freakishly good athlete….

at the S position, specifically… for me, it's a push…

Hootie will end up reminding alot of fans of much better Jack Hunt… always in the right spot, good in coverage in the back half, but athletically, where Hunt was very stagnant, Jones will progress at LSU...

Collins has superior athletic skills, but I think Jones has better football instincts. Every opportunity I had to see Collins play safety it appeared he arrived just in time to make a big tackle, but too late to break up the pass or intercept it. Big tackles are nice, but they also result in drive sustaining first downs.
