good news; Landon Collins announce returning to Alabama ,expressing full……….

I recently shared my first Redskins three round mock draft, in which I had Alabama safety Landon Collins going 5th overall to the Skins. Today, I would like to justify why I think the Redskins would be smart to take the talented safety this high in the 2015 draft.

Landon Collins was a cornerback coming out of high school, but all the major recruting services had him rated as a safety due to his size and hitting ability. He was a 5-star recruit, and number one player in the state of Louisiana on Scout, Rivals and 247Sports, and was either the number one or two player at his position nationally. He was timed in the mid 4.4’s at various camps he attended before his senior season, and had a vertical that was close to 40″. This was a kid who had hips like a corner, and the body of a strong safety, and every college coach in the country would have gladly taken a pledge for him to attend their school.

Collins spurned the home state school(LSU) on national television, much to the dismay of his mother, and chose to play for defensive mastermind Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Before he entered school, his mom proudly claimed here son would be three-and-done at Alabama, in order to persue his dream of making it in the NFL. Well, although mom was wrong about her son’s choice of college, she was correct in her prognostication of three-and-done, as Collins has told multiple people in NFL circles that he plans on entering the NFL draft in 2015.
