Collins and Williams taken in fifth round of NFL Draft

FAYETTEVILLE - Jonathan Williams, Alex Collins and Sebastian Tretola joined Hunter Henry as former Arkansas players selected in the 2016 NFL Draft this weekend.

Williams, a running back who missed his senior year at Arkansas because of a broken foot, went in the fifth round, pick 156 to the Buffalo Bills. He ran for 1,190 yards and 12 touchdowns his junior season in 2014 for the Razorbacks, joining Collins as dual runners with more 1,000 yards that year for Arkansas.

Collins had to wait a few picks later - No. 171 - but still went in the fifth round to the Seattle Seahawks.
