As a prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, Alfred Collins was predominantly regarded for the run-stopping play he produced at Texas, with a desire to improve significantly in slowing down opposing ground games a key reason why the 49ers selected him in the second round.
Collins never had more than two sacks in a season at Texas and registered only one in 2024. However, there are numbers from his final year with the Longhorns that point to him being one of the most complete defensive tackles in the class.
Indeed, Collins was fourth among all defensive tackles in the class in Sports Info Solutions’ total points metric, which takes Expected Points Added and gives value to every player on each play from scrimmage.
