Why is Collins getting no love in mock drafts?

The guy has been a MONSTER at LT all year, and yet you are hearing little to nothing nationally about him.
Hard to believe he is flying so low under the radar to TAMU's and Bama's LT's, because to my eyes there certainly doesn't seem to be much difference in talent or performance wise!

Ditto. Perplexed by his lack of recognition.

Most mock drafts only include Seniors until a player declares. Nothing to see here.

At first I thought you are talking about jalen Collins
Don't get me wrong, I got nothin but respect for these athletes.

It's kind of surprising to me as well given, especially, the VTech game where the Kouandjio brothers were straight up embarrassed.

Just means he can stay another year and improve his draft stock

Collins is not as good as Matthews. Matthews will be a top 5 pick. He is the most pro ready cfb player in the country. He could start on 90% of nfl teams. He really has very little flaws.

I haven't watched Mathews very closely I admit, but find me the flaws in Collins game and physical ability. He also looks as pro ready as they come to my eyes.

Great run blocker. Don't know how he performs as a pass blocker. He is a beast but not sure how long his arms are. The NFL left tackle has to be nimble footed with long arms and very good feet.
Has Collins demonstrated this to date ? He may project better as a guard in the NFL. Like Whitworth at Cincy he may need time to adapt. He will go no lower than 2nd round though. He is a monster run blocker. Someone will get a steal with him.
Hope its the Bengals.

Meh. Joeckel was struggling in the NFL and he's just as good, if not better than Matthews.

Because he has not played as well since week one,... Hasn't played bad but has shown some weakness.

Collins want be 1st-2nd round pick so I hope he dont mes up like most our Def players did last year. My dad is a scout and Collins never be 1st round pick. Prey he dont leave!

You act like scouts are always right. Most of the time they are wrong. Collins has legit 1st potential. Maybe not this year, but next year for sure. He's only given up 1 sack all year long and very little pressure. Along with being a powerful run blocker and team leader. Also you should ask your dad to teach you how to spell

It's very early for this stuff right now. Many people ranked high now will fall. Many not highly ranked will rise. As long as Collins continues to play the way he has so far, after tapes are reviewed and combine, he will be in first round consideration.

Expound please, I never noticed him have trouble.

I don't watch CFB critically as would a scout, but Collins is just a fantastic LT.

To be a high pick at LT, measurables are everything. Arm length and height are just as important as quick feet and strength.
My guess is that Collins isn't a protypical LT...and because of that he won't be rated as high as guys who are.
