Former NFL running back Alex Collins dies at age 28

According to Mike Rosenstein of the New York Post on Wednesday, former NFL running back Alex Collins of Fort Lauderdale, Florida passed away at the age of 28 on Sunday evening in a motorcycle accident in the Florida community of Lauderdale Lakes. Collins reportedly hit a SUV from behind, and the driver of the SUV was extremely upset because she initially had no idea where Collins went.

This was the second time Collins was reportedly in a serious vehicle accident. On March 1, 2019, he was involved in a car crash where he was arrested. Collins pleaded guilty to marijuana and hand gun possession, and as a result experienced 18 months of probation according to Nathan Ruiz of the Baltimore Sun.

In 50 games, he had 483 rushes for 1997 rushing yards for 18 rushing touchdowns. Collins also had 59 catches for 467 receiving yards and one touchdown catch. Collins’s lone touchdown catch was for three yards from quarterback Joe Flacco in a 26-14 Ravens win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 30, 2018.

Collins played this past season with the Memphis Showboats of the United States Football League. This past year, it was an eight team league with other teams located in Michigan, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Birmingham, Houston and New Orleans.
