Motorcycle crash...

What a tragedy. He had a good string of games in '21 for us.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Whoa, motorcycle crash??

Man, that’s so sad.

Rest in Peace.

28 years old.

Motorcycles man. Very dangerous means of transportation.

My former neighbor passed from a motorcycle crash.

Godspeed.

Oh no! He was by all accounts a good man. Too young. RIP.

My son in law is an orthopedic surgeon, after the first day of his residency, he putted his beloved Ducati racing bike up for sale and bought himself a car. The amount of surgeries and amputations from motorbike accidents was his wake up call.

 

[HAWKN'83]

Only 28! Dang that's sad. Hopefully he's resting in peace.

My wife just sent a link.

Sad day indeed.

RIP young soul.

Seems like news outlets haven't confirmed how he died; all the places I've checked are saying the cause of death hasn't been announced.

28 is too young. RIP, Alex.

Very sad, taken entirely too soon. Thoughts with his family and loved ones.

This kid was so good at Arkansas. He had the coaches drooling. Sad to hear this news. Prayers for his family.

 

[Chuckwow]

Had his own running style and when he broke free he was really fun to watch. Sad, terrible news.

I always liked him as a player. At his best, a solid back up, at his not so best, a good back to have on your depth chart. RIP Alex. Anyone who made something of a career in the NFL was an exceptional athlete throughout most of their lives.

 

[SocialParasite]

The world lost a good one. R.I.P Mr. Collins!

This is a nice story about him meeting a 12 year old boy who was bullied for doing Irish dances like he did.

Wow... The same as everyone else, it was like a gut-punch to read the headline.
I really liked Alex Collins. He had a quick burst and some tricky footwork that he credited to "Irish Folk Dance...like Riverdance".
Sad to hear the news...
