Widely regarded as the top safety in the 2015 NFL Draft, Alabama’s Landon Collins likely didn’t hurt his standing with his times in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine on Monday.
Collins (6-0, 228) was timed at 4.53 and 4.54 seconds in the 40 on the FieldTurf surface at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. His best time was on his second attempt.
Collins’ time is slightly better than that of former Crimson Tide standout safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who ran 4.58 at the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine. Clinton Dix was the 21st overall pick of Green Bay last May.
Collins is the top safety in Rotoworld draft expert Josh Norris’ position rankings.
