So....you're calling Collins a "great" RB then ?
:
absolutely, but certainly not because he went one year in the NFL without getting hurt.
straight up serious, find me a RB who has not missed a game due to injury in 5 years. One who has played and produced for those 5 years, and I'll show you a great RB.
First off, you may not be able to find a another RB who's played and produced for 5 years who hasn't missed a game due to injury, but if you do, it'll likely be a household name.
I won't even bother looking it up, but I'm certain in the last 5 years, AC has much more carries and yards than Christine Micheal, and zero injuries.
Don't misunderstand me as saying AC has been great up to this point in the NFL, he had a typical rookie year.
I'm saying he has the attributes of a great RB, and it's a logical assumption that it will translate to this level.

And it IS a logical projection, again, we researched this point last year, on the point of how many RBs had entered college at 18, had a 1,000 yards each year, never missed a game due to injury, and then entered the draft as a JR.
Not very many guys are on that list, and the two
worst RBs we could find on that list were Monte Ball and Laurence Maroney, both former 1st round draft picks, who had successful NFL careers, everyone else on that list had hall of fame type careers.
