Elijah Collins is working on improving his speed and acceleration and that means he’s taking that next step for Michigan State football.

The year was 2013 and Le’Veon Bell had just graduated, leaving a huge void in the backfield. A junior running back by the name of Jeremy Langford took over the All-Big Ten rusher and had an immediate impact. He essentially came out of nowhere to become a star.

Langford then rushed for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons before getting drafted by the Chicago Bears.
