I'm pretty sure it was the play-call and position that didn't help out Collins. If we we're in zone, Kiffen would call an audible for a Cooper slant. If we we're in man, Kiffen would go for a seam. Cooper was highly targeted that game. I thought Collins did a good job. That's just pure nit-picking. PP didn't have great games against Julio Jones or AJ Green either. As I recall, Julio Jones dominated PP last year. Collins has the tools to be great- everyone acts like he can't be coached to become a good corner. Look at all the late round draft picks (corners, safeties) that were successful in the NFL. shite, an undrafted rookie won the Patriots the Superbowl.

It's more than just talent. There's IQ, work-ethic. I've never seen or head Collins complain at all. You should all be grateful that he's repping DBU. Even a 3rd string corner can become a first round draft pick. I'm sure that will be appealing to recruits.

We need a course on strings in football. Collins was a starting corner in 2012, half of 2013, and in 2014. At his lowest point, he was the 3rd CB, or 2nd string. At no point was he ever 3rd string, other than his Redshirt year.

no it's not! That's my honest assessment on Collins. He will have to be coached up a good deal in the NFL.
