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.
