Collie has pretty much a 0% chance of getting drafted right? Like Indy mentions, his position ranking is #29, and he's not listed in the overall rankings (these are all ESPN.COM NFL Draft rankings, FWIW). A 5'11" WR from Abilene Christian is ranked #21 and #150 overall, and he's the last WR to be listed in the Overall Rank.
I wonder what advice his advisers gave him.

Originally posted by UtahDan View PostI think that Collie really has the makings of a top notch possession receiver in the NFL. That is no slight: there are plenty of teams in the NFL that have guys who can run down the sideline but not get into space, be a big target and get you 7-8 yards. I really think he is a steal for someone. BYU will have finally put a legitimate receiver in the NFL. About time.
Also I get sick of the comparisons to Kevin Curtis because they both played in Utah and they are both white. Curtis is actually a burner, he is very fast and not a possession receiver at all. Collie will be called on to run precise routes and get first downs. A more apt comparison for Collie would be a bigger version of Wes Welker, he will catch the majority of his balls facing the line of scrimmage.*Banned*
