re: Diesel Collins hanging with Coach Eaux today

Dude Collins was a great back i don't give a damn what you say if he were at LSU for 4 years back then and stayed healthy he would likely have the rushing record. He was the hardest runner I've EVER seen ever period. You couldn't tackle that guy in the backfield nor did he lose yards ever whether it be HS, College, or NFL. If Cecil was a smart back he would of been one of the greatest. Big or not it's even more impressive to me that he could do what he did throughout his career at 5'10 215 pounds. You ask anyone who tried tackling this guy if he was overhyped lol. I bet that answer is a resounding NO, and if they said yes they are bitter or just want to disagree. Better than Guice, LF, Hill, Faulk probably not but he's still one of the better backs I've ever seen run the football period.

cant argue this.. If he would have stayed on track i think hes neck and neck with fournette as one the more talented.. That guy was incredible, Jeremy Hill actually reminded me of him.. except Collins was just a tad smaller and more shifty but same explosion.. I think thats where Fournette gets him.. Fournette is just freak of an athlete..
