Pro Football Focus high on Saints FB Collins
Jed Collins - RB - New Orleans Saints
Feb. 3, 2012 - 6:35 PM ET
Saints FB Jed Collins finished the 2011 season as Pro Football Focus' top-rated lead blocker in the league.
Collins is best known to fantasy leaguers for vulturing four short-yardage touchdowns (two rushing, two receiving) from Mark Ingram et al, but he was a battering ram for New Orleans. The Saints' team yards-per-carry average leaped from 4.0 (22nd in the NFL) in 2010 to 4.9 (fourth) in 2011. In terms of all-around performance, Pro Football Focus rated only Vonta Leach higher among fullbacks. Leach got an All-Pro nod. Collins got nada.
