Collins made it known as he transistioned to the pros that he was a Redskins fan, and that the late, great saftey was one of his favorites.  “My favorite team was the Redskins because I grew up a Clinton Portis and Sean Taylor fan,” Collins told Alabama.com before the 2015 NFL Draft. “So it’s always been the Redskins.”
