Collins has a low top end speed but he's very quick laterally and vertically. He follows his blockers well and can make guys miss. He has the opportunity to have a decent career.
Hope he stays but don't blame him one bit if he leaves. He's earned it. I fully expect him to declare but who knows.

I think he will be the most complete back. It sounds like Elliot will go, but he is the type of guy that will fit some systems really well and may not fit into others. Henry will be a power back that a number of teams could use. I think Collins has a game that could help most teams.

I hope Collins stays because I love watching him play. He is a fantastic running back.

I disagree. I am skeptical of a Bama or Bert back. Still waiting on one to excel at the next level.

Collins would be a fool not to go to the draft. Shelf life for RB's are short and he's not going to move up anyone's boards. Been great watching him and he has always represented the University of Arkansas well I hope he makes a lot of money in the pros.

Alex does the dirty work just as well and is fearless. He is a great kid and we will miss him should he leave. We want nothing but the best for Alex. Has been a great Razorback!

He was a wrecking ball yesterday and the game should not have been close. Bert insisted on passing.

HE GONE, he watched his teammate stay his senior year and go down with a injury.
Coach Brett B. will not talk him into staying, he knows it is time for Collins to leave.
At some point we fans need to keep in mind the best for the athletes and not just our favorite team.
Next year I will be sad to see Fournette leave LSU but it would be selfish to hope he stays

Idk about that. During the post game a reporter was going to ask collins about the nfl and Bert jumped in. Said they would sit down with his family and talk about it. Mentioned that if he came back he would be a heisman front runner and could be the first back in sec history with 1k yards 4 years in a row.

I don't really see a scenario where Alex Collins doesn't go pro.
The ONLY draw for Alex might be finishing up as the SEC career rushing yards leader.
He needs 1,557 yards to do it. He needs 888 yards to finish 2nd all time in SEC rushing.
Of course if Fournette stays healthy, he'll probably need at least 1,400 to stay ahead of Fournette.

How is he going to be a steal ? He has had a ton of playing time to show what he can do. His numbers are great but he likely falls to the 3rd round because of his combine . He is a good RB in a great system. Look what other RB have done in that system .

and the Dallas Cowboys pick Alex Collins

Disagree on Marshall. I was never honestly impressed even pre injury. He is best on screens and slipping to ball to him in the flat in space. He is ineffective between the tackles. He doesn't have the size to be an every down back in college much less the NFL. Marshall will be a late round guy but most likely a UFA hoping to snag a practice squad somewhere.
Mitchell? Meh. He also isn't a fast as he used to be. Be isn't particularly a threat downfield. He doesn't win many jump situations and he isn't as aggressive to the ball as say Antonio Brown, BeBe Thomas. Mitchell is a slower less agressive Stephon Diggs. And don't blame Schotty...if a WR is as unmitigated talent as you propose he will find ways to get open. If he is really as talented as you have said he would've gotten open more. Like I said. He is not aggressive and slower post injuries this he doesn't get open. He will not be a good NFL receiver.

He needs a year and needs to work on his route running ad pass catching.
Fan logic at its finest. So he has never caught passes or ran routes at Arky, but he needs to return to do those things.
He can learn to do that just as well in the NFL getting paid.
I hope the Cowboys take Collins in the late 2nd. He would be great behind that OL. Plus the Jones Arky connection and McFadden sucks.

He's a UGA homer don't mind him.

But not sceptical of a Miles back amirite?

They're going to talk about it with the mom who hid his LOI from Arkansas?
He's gone, and a grateful hog nation thanks him for what he has brought to the program. AC3, time to get paid.

I'd love to keep him but I'm sure you're right. AC has been a great hog.
