2.05 New Orleans Chocolate City - RB Alex Collins

In the real world: Collins rushed for 1,000 yards and at least 5.4 yards per carry in each of his three seasons. He got the chance to be the #1 running back for Arkansas after Jonathan Williams went down with a foot injury. Mel Kiper: "Collins has had occasional ball-security issues, but in terms of raw ability, he's much closer to (Ezekiel) Elliott than many realize."
In the TUFF world: Running back depth was also a need for New Orleans coming into this draft.  Their top RB, Jeremy Hill, is still sharing carries with Geovani Bernard (Detroit Vipers), Arian Foster remains unsigned coming off a torn Achilles', and Joique Bell hasn't landed anywhere since being cut by the Lions.  Collins was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in what shapes up to be a crowded backfield with Thomas Rawls (Minnesota Fighting Saints) and C.J. Prosise (Baltimore Brown Clowns) ahead of him. Welcome to the Seattle Running Back Crapshoot, Tommy.
