Alfred Collins’ NFL Draft Scouting Report
Alfred Collins has enigmatic qualities as a 2025 NFL Draft prospect. He accumulated just seven career sacks in five seasons at Texas, and as expected, he struggles to attack independently on pass-rushing downs, despite his physical tools. However, he is extremely effective as a run defender — perhaps the most effective in the class.
His style will not suit every team, but Collins’ high floor in the run game, combined with his athletic upside, makes him an extremely compelling Day 2 investment. At 6’5″, 332 pounds, with long levers for arms, Collins is a pure space-eater who also has the explosiveness to reset the line and hit blockers with jarring power. He can slab blocks, stack-and-shed with violence, and snuff out carries, and his power profile and motor imply untapped potential on later downs.

Often, teams will draft based not just on upside, but also standard body-typing. Some players have the physical and mental makeups to be impactful assets regardless of their projection, and Alfred Collins is one of those players.
Collins’ hand usage as a pass-rusher is still very raw and inconsistent even after five years of heavy contribution, but pass-rushing may never be his specialty. Rather, Collins is a two-gap, stack-and-shed machine in the run game at 6’6″, 334 pounds, with near-35″ arms.
It’s important to note that Collins isn’t just an immovable mass. He’s extremely explosive, especially on the lateral plane. That allows him to react to blocks, align to gaps, and wall off lanes. And that same athleticism and power gives him pass-down upside to unearth.
