Scouting Report: Strengths
- Collins has the heavy hands and upper-body strength to win with power. He drops his weight and anchors well against the run, holding up at the point of attack and capable of occupying double teams.
- Collins shows impressive burst and enough quickness to occasionally threaten the edge as a pass rusher.
- Despite his relatively tall frame, Collins typically plays with a low enough pad level and natural power to push the pocket with the bull rush.
- Possesses the length and power to ward off offensive tackles.
- Average quickness and power and his bull rush will be stonewalled. Comes off the snap high, losing leverage.
- With a powerful lower body and the ability to hold up at the point of attack as a run defender, he is remarkably instinctive.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s very much a work in progress with his hand in the dirt. Collins doesn’t play with ideal physicality, often failing to set the edge as a run defender.
- He lacks the speed and range to consistently chase down plays in pursuit.
- Collins is powerful but lacks the flexibility to consistently bend the edge, and Collins lacks the kind of twitchy overall athleticism to develop into an elite pass rusher.
