Collins’ 100th percentile durability grade percentile and age (27) create a low injury risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Collins’ snap share trended stable in 2025, averaging 47.8%. He faces competition for his role, but his durability and efficiency grades suggest he will remain a key contributor.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Nick Rallis coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 23.9% blitz rate, which helps Collins’ production. The scheme’s man-heavy coverage approach limits Collins’ ceiling.
Trend Assessment
Rising
Collins’ efficiency and usage grades have improved, and his production has remained stable, indicating a potential upward trajectory.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: LB3-LB4; Collins must maintain his efficiency and usage grades while increasing his production to reach this ceiling.
