 :lol:

Such a broad-scale award (Best Defensive Player) that it'd have been tough for Collins to win without lots of glitter: dozen interceptions, punt returns, clever name, etc.  Collins has been a star for us for 3 years, and prolly the best safety during the Saban era, but lacks the interception numbers of some.  He'll be missed!

 :worship: :worship: :worship:

Mama will get new panties, thanks to his decision! 
Also seems like only yesterday when Vern (was it him?) announced that he was a junior and likely to turn pro.  Landon was a freshman or sophomore then!   :lol2:

I don't get why a safety would be eligible for this award. Nagurski was a linebacker/defensive lineman plus a fullback for good measure.
