Jamie Collins Lets his Play do the Talking.

JDot · Jan 29, 2015

Pretty good read on Jamie's upbringing from Ben Volin of all people.

Collins was born and raised in McCall Creek, Miss., a tiny, unincorporated town off US Highway 84, near Homochitto National Forest in the southern part of the state. Collins, the youngest of five, grew up modestly.

“McCall Creek has a post office, a store, and a saw mill, and not much more than that,” said Trent Hammond, his coach at Franklin County High School in Meadville, population 500. “I left the area a year after Jamie did. My wife wasn’t very happy being 35 minutes from a grocery store.”

Collins was forced to grow up quickly. His parents died by the time he was 6 years old, the causes of which he won’t talk about. His oldest sibling, Lisa, essentially raised Collins and his three older brothers.

I love this kid and he's just started to scratch the surface of what he's capable of as a player in the league.

He had every reason not to be this good, and accepted the challenge instead of making excuses.. these are the truly great stories.

I had so much adversity coming up, so adversity is nothing to me,” Collins told the Hattiesburg American in 2012. “I’ve fought and fought. I sort of like adversity. I believe that’s what really wakes me up.”

Sports were always Collins’s outlet. A lean 6-foot-3-inch, 200-pounder in high school, Collins almost single-handedly led Franklin County to the state championship game in his senior year as the quarterback, safety, and punter. He threw down monstrous dunks with his 41½-inch vertical leap, and was a state champion in the shot put and discus, and he finished second in the high jump and triple jump.

Bill Belichick said:
“Look at the Jamie Collinses, it’s not like there’s like two or three dozen of them in the draft every year. We’re lucky to have one.”

For some Jamie Collins porn, check out the attached video of him stoning Max Unger, disengaging and taking down Marshawn Lynch.

He has DPOY written all over him.

The problem is that I don't think he'll ever have the flashy, glamorous numbers. 3-4 sacks here...a couple of picks there..90-100 tackles.

Which at the end of the day win Super Bowls.

I remember that live, we rewound to watch it again. Perfect technique, drove a lineman back, read Lynch's move and disengaged in time to make the stop. He's an absolute monster who's just coming into his own, and he's a perfect fit for Belichick's hybrid defense because he can be asked to do anything: stop the run, rush the passer, drop into coverage. He may not be a master of any one (though he's been incredible when he's allowed to blitz) but he's good at all three which allows Belichick to use him all over the place. Such a weapon.

That must be a fake video because Deus Irae told me he can't take on blocks and is only a 3rd down back up LB.

Thank you Minnesota for that Draft Day Trade...we having him wouldn't have been possible without you.

HE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO COVER THE WHEEL ROUTE!

I think he's great but that is his kryptonite.

captain stone · Feb 6, 2015

Collins would also be the first to admit his mistakes too, such as taking the cheese on the wheel route
to Lynch at the end of the game, and on the Wilson read-option at the end of the 1st half, among others
perhaps.

Edit: Gronkandez beat me to the punch.

The wheel route? I think you mean the slant & go.

That's not a wheel route, it was a slant & go.

This is a very smart football player and for a young player to basically take over Mayo's duties + so quickly shows how much BB respects his football knowledge. I think it's safe to say that without him we are not World Champions
