He was selected to play in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star game, where he recorded a solo tackle.

Also a standout track and field athlete, Collins was a state track qualifier. At the 2009 3A South State Meet, he earned first-place finishes in the shot put (51–6) and discus throw (156–0 or 47.80m), while also placing second in both the high jump (6–4 or 1.93m) and triple jump (43–10.5) events.[1] He captured the 2009 MHSAA (Mississippi High School Athletics Association) 3A shot put title with a throw of 15.90 meters (52–1), and also took third in the triple jump after recording a career-best leap of 13.58m (44–5.25).[2]

Professional career

[edit]

Pre-draft

[edit]

Collins entered the 2013 NFL Draft and attended the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He completed all of the combine and positional drills and immensely helped his draft stock with his overall performance. Collins set an NFL Combine record by finishing with a broad jump of 11'7". The record was previously 11'5" which was set by running back Justin Fargas in the 2003 NFL combine. Collins held the record until it was broken by cornerback Byron Jones in 2015 (12'3") and was also surpassed by Obi Melifonwu in 2017 (11'9").[3] He also finished with the second best vertical jump at the combine, fourth best short shuttle among edge rushers, and eighth best 40-yard dash time among pass rushers at the combine.[4]

On March 8, 2013, Collins participated at Southern Mississippi's pro day, but opted to stand on his combine performance and only performed positional drills. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, he was projected to be a second round pick by NFL draft experts and scouts. Collins was ranked as the third best outside linebacker by NFL analyst Mike Mayock, the fifth best outside linebacker by NFL analyst Josh Norris, and was ranked the sixth best outside linebacker prospect in the draft by DraftScout.com.[5][6][7]
