Alex Collins, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Perhaps no player in the NFL was wondering where he stood with his current team quite like Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins.

Collins is coming off a near 1,000-yard rushing season after being plucked from the trash heap by the Ravens last offseason. Collins was low-key really good last season, but the Ravens were not financially committed to him, so it was always going to be interesting to see if they sought to improve that position via the draft.

Not only did Baltimore not draft a back with one of their 12 (yes, 12) picks, the team wasn't really linked with any notable free-agent running backs. It sure seems like Baltimore gave Collins a ringing endorsement that he is their guy.

With Javorius Allen and Kenneth Dixon as his chief competition, Collins should be an oft-used back in 2018.
