If this site is accurate, his 40 time is in the bottom 3rd of the league for strong safeties.
That can't be accurate. He was tied for top 40 time among 6 SS's at the combine and was faster than 6 of 9 FS's: LINK
Looking through past combines, 4.53 is above average. Interesting that Eric Reid also ran 4.53

Collins is really a 3rd-4th round pick. He is going to be a liability in pass coverage in a pass happy league. Otherwise, he will be added to the bust list below.
NFL draft guru Mel Kiper Jr.'s concerns about Alabama first-round draft prospects Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and C.J. Mosley go beyond his personal analysis of them.
On an ESPN conference call Wednesday afternoon, Kiper said the play of past Crimson Tide defensive players in the NFL who have been high draft picks will play into his evaluation of Clinton-Dix and Mosley.
"It is something you have to look at because there have been a host of players out of that Alabama defense that over the years have come in as high draft choices and, frankly, been major disappointments," Kiper said.
Kiper listed Rolando McClain, Kareem Jackson, Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and Terrence Cody as examples of Tide defensive stars who haven't played up to where they were drafted.
I think Mark Barron is a good player but just not as good as he was picked.

The 40 time argument is ridiculous. He isn't a liability in coverage because of a lack of speed. He's a liability because, from what I've seen which is very limited, he gets caught looking in the backfield.
He will be drafted as a SS and will be a good one in the NFL. He just doesn't have the instincts in coverage to play FS.
