Evaluation: Collins is smooth as silk in secondary for the Cubs. It has earned him the nickname “Silent Assasin” by R/L. His closing speed on run plays and coverage ability on pass plays make him very deceptive to opposing offenses. He makes plays in open space well, physical at the point of attack. Long lean body, smooth through transitions from back peddle to quick hip movements to rotate into pass protection. Athletic build.
