@NFLosophy: Landon Collins is supposedly the best S in this class, right? He's a solid football player but he's not a game changer.

@NFLosophy: .@Dat_Boy_JMo Collins is solid, not special. He diagnoses well and can blitz, but not terrific in coverage. Doesn't fly around the field.

@NFLosophy: @JoshLiskiewitz I could see Collins as a 2nd rounder but I'd want to wait a little longer for a box player like that.

@NFLosophy: @JoshLiskiewitz If Collins could have hit 4.40, or even 4.45 at the combine, I'd be more apt to use him in deep CF.

@NFLosophy: @JoshLiskiewitz Problem is that at 4.53 he has to get by on anticipation and instincts and still might show up late to the POA.

Came across these tweets and thought they aptly described Collins skills.

Remember what Gus did to him in back-to-back years and you have to think the guy will be abused in the NFL

LC was good

And played on great D's.

Definitely not great by any means.

Unanimous All American and national championship winner Landon Collins? Wish him the best. Incredible ambassador for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide!

Solid player. Gets hyped beyond what he really is due to being linked to Saban and the Alabama hype machine.

I love the fact that you'll never see a thread about auburn's defensive backs. Hell, we don't even know their names.

Troll on, you Crazy Diamond.

Since that myth is beginning to lose sway at the NFL level will be interested to see where he falls in the draft

He's a lot better than any safety I've seen playing for auburn lately

I agree but Auburn's defense has been historically bad so that's not really a vote of confidence on his behalf

Poor kid just never was developed. He made a business decision. Lots of kids do. But he just didn't take into account what those short terms gains were going to do to his future.

Yeah Tebow did all that too. How'd his pro career pan out?

Do you think his stock would have been higher at LSU under Chavis? They've had a better track record than Bama with their defensive draft picks on the next level

I'm just glad he played well in college. The only time I'll watch him play in the NFL is if he makes the Super Bowl.
