My devy mancrush. I love the way he runs with intensity and explosion. Looks to have good vision, and balance. Very strong runner that is growing and should be the prototypical height/weight. Top HS recruit, and produced as a freshman. I've seen comparisons to Crowell and Lynch so far that seem like good ones. Looks like many will have to decide between him and Clement (which should be a good debate for the next couple years).

Personally my devy philosophy so far has been to mostly avoid investing in RB's that young unless they're true freaks because it's a position that takes a lot of pounding. A guy has to be closer to the NFL for me, I feel more confident in my projection of his talent into the NFL that way.

But I see the appeal here and in many of the younger RB's that are popular Devy's right now.

I've got Clement in a tier below Collins. Right now, it's Henry, Collins, Tyner and then everyone else for me.

That mirrors my RB list for 2016. I feel they're a clear step ahead of everyone else with Clement and Taylor (whom I seem to like more than most) in the next tier, followed by a big drop. There's reason to be excited about Collins. He's the total package.

I was able to pick up Collins in the 2nd round of a dilluted devy draft (2nd season) that my league is close to wrapping up.
