Where does Collins fit in on Alabama's list of all-time safeties? He certainly is a special one.

I don't care that he didn't come to LSU. In fact he has the worse attitude and I wouldn't want that contagious shite to spread within the team. He's talented yes but I would take Jamal Adams over him any day.

I don't know about all-time, but during the Saban era I would put him behind Rashad Johnson and Mark Barron. Collins is excellent in run support, but really struggles man to man. He will still be a 1st rounder this spring.

Above average, but not one of the all-time greats.

He is number 1 all time in one category: living rent free in the collective head of the LSU fanbase.

Never seen a fanbase so obsessed with a player from another school.

He has a bad attitude? Shut your ignorant mouth. He has been nothing but a positive, leader on our team for three years. Not one single issue from him.

During Saban Era it goes like this for overall ability:

HaHa
Baron
Collins
Johnson
Lester
Sunseri

He's very good in run support, as you will see on Saturday night. He's good at setting up the backend of the D with coverages and alignments as Bama rarely has a flat bust (though there was an obvious bust against OM). He is good in zone coverage, but struggles defending the slot in man, particularly in bunch formations.

His coverage deficiencies will not be exposed on Saturday b/c LSU doesn't have a QB capable of doing so.

Pretty sure this is from just a few days ago. TBH I thought it would have been linked the day it came out, given the build up for this game.

Also, I am terrible at using forums and my link would most likely not work.
