Just scored on a beautiful run, but his celebration was the greatest I've seen!

I love that kid. I am hoping this is just the beginning of a great career.

Love Collins but I'm a diehard lions fan

RollHogTide

I had the pleasure of an up close experience with the young man at Bryant-Denny a few years ago.  I told the person with me, "That young man is nothing but class."  He was exceptionally humble and upbeat pre-game; I will always be a huge fan.

The same as Brandon Allen - both were wonderful ambassadors for the Razorbacks.

Ha ha...that was a great celebration! Good to see him doing so well!
Did they get you to trade a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage...?

longpig

Crazy how much faster he's gotten.
Don't be scared, be smart.

I think he was thinking about getting the celebration set up as soon as he crossed the 5.

Could not be happier for the cat. It's pretty dadgum cool watching Razorback players contribute in the NFL. AC, Hunter, Spaight, The guys in New England, plus many more.

AC is keeping a 1000 yard season in sight, I think he is right around 700 yards now with 3 games to go.

Why on earth did Seattle release him? They can't buy a running back with Collins's talent and the just let him walk.

I think he'll move back into the top 10 rushers after today, still leads them all in YPC at 4.9.

Took him awhile to get over B.B. S&C apparently


Looks like a high rounder now 🙄

He's lost a noticeable amount of weight in his midsection and lower body. It's obviously helped with his quickness.

This if he cut the dreads and didnt have name on jersey I wouldnt even think thats AC. Herb needs to look at the tape and realize he sucks at his job!

Seattle handle his whole situation so strangely. He'd have awesome camps and practices, then hardly saw the field during preseason games. I recall many times that he was reported to have the play of the day and best practice. So who knows what hat really happened. All I know is that Seattle staff looks like idiots.

I watched as much of his time as I could in Seattle. Alex bears some responsibility with fumbling, but the guy I blame most for his lack of success there is Pete Carroll. Seemed they inevitably would put him in at the worst possibly times/situations, like 3rd and 6 at their 2 or something. As if it was designed for failure. I've actively rooted against them since and definitely will tonight......as a Cowboy.

I liked it better when his celebration was handing the ball to the referee and jogging back to the bench.

Oh geesh. The team went out of there way to choreograph a celebration with him. Lighten up. He still hands the ball to them after every run.

I think it had to do with fumbles.  They showed stat a couple weeks ago that he had highest fumble/carry in NCAA and I know he had quiet a few with Seattle when he got on the field.  He had a couple in his first three weeks with the Ravens I think, but then none since!  Looking like the coaching staff helped him figure it out!  Great for Alex!

All they had to do was give the ball to Marshawn Lynch. You're on the one yard line and you pass?!?

Not questioning his character or manhood. Maybe you should lighten up.

I happy he is successful and his teammates like him and support him.

But, I just find these over-the-top end zone celebrations stupid.

I've felt that way too, but then the ones that make me laugh have me re-thinking that position.

AC's first one, the tug of war with the O Line, was great.

Ha ha...cmon man. I'm not upset at anything, nor did I accuse you of questioning his character.

I do think some TD celebrations are just dumb, but there are some that make me chuckle. This one in particular I was happy to see. It was just fun and showed that these guys love AC.

More accurately, Seattle has terrible line play and Allen was lucky to get released and picked up by a team that has better run blocking
If Auburn is dirty so is Gus. You can't have it both ways. Deal with it.

That was one of the best I have seen. Well timed with the lineman too. I wonder how much they practiced it?

Twitter was calling it the celebration of the year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Buck Allen had any choreographed celebrations has he?

How about you let him do what he wants since he just scored a TD.
Nothing wrong with celebrating success; so take a chill pill?

Bump for SNF game....AC running well again, but Baltimore drives me nuts with their play calling, trying to get cute when the running game is working.
