Cecil Collins would have won a Heisman trophy under Saban.

I truly believe Saban would have kept him in check. What a tremendous talent he was! We’ve had some awesome RBs at LSU, but the Diesel was better than all of the in my opinion. Fournette was the closes to him in size and speed.

Sucks he was a knucklehead in his younger days.

Dude was broke upstairs.

Saban wasn't fixing shite.

...still one of the greatest RBs I've ever seen in P&G.

No he wouldn’t. He had multiple chances and freaked each one up. And that’s only what the public knows about. Dude ended up in prison. Some people can’t be saved.

Collins got drafted in 1999. Nick Saban came to LSU in 2000.

Well he was a freshman in 97 which means he’d have been a senior in 2000

He likely would have gone on to the NFL and been another Darren Sharper.

Not sure Saban would have kept him in check, but Saban would have found a way to keep it out of the media and allowed Collins to stay on the team.

I’ve watched every one of his carries and I think he’s the most overrated player by our fanbase.

Fournette
Guice
Faulk
Hill
CEH (in a spread offense)

All better.

Trust me they tried to keep it from the media. There was no undoing the shite he was doing and would later do. He entered more apartments that summer than he got charged with.

If his head was screwed on correctly, he would've left early for the NFL before Saban got to LSU.

Before my time but looking at highlights/stats probably.

Collins benefits from “backup quarterback syndrome” since he flashed in limited carries while Faulk carried the load.

The reason his name keeps coming up on this board is if you ever personally saw him run, you just cant forget it. Run over you run away from you.

Totally messed up kid though really sad

He was the change of pace back; they have a tendency to come in and look better than the starter.

Charles Scott had the highest YPC in 07
Ridley in 08
Guice in 15

He is a sick, disturbed, rapist, peeping tom, pervert and still is, you don't grow out of this kind of behavior.

Let Cecil baby sit one of your children or keep him around your home with your wife or girlfriend.

Cecil played in 4 games, none of the teams were highly rated, a great OL and if he was that good he would have had success in the NFL.

Somewhere, someone is in Cecil Collins sick mind right this moment with his thoughts of rape and sick behavior. No amount of council from therapist will remove his sick thoughts. Most likely he has been trained to not act on his thoughts but believe me you don't want him as your neighbor.

He wasn't even the best RB on the 98 McNeese team.

He clearly had potential but it was mostly wasted.

The broken leg didn't help either as he was really never the same. If I recall he broke the right at LSU and the left while with Dolphins.
