Chief Collins is a proven Texas Tech depth-and-coverage safety with special-teams value
Chief Collins is a reliable, assignment-sound safety for Texas Tech who appeared in all 13 games in 2024 and all 11 games tracked in 2025, with his value showing more in trust, availability, and special-teams work than splash statistics. Texas Tech listed him as a safety, and ESPN/roster data identify him as a 5'11", 195-200-pound defensive back with active career status; his 2025 stat line shows just 1 total tackle, which suggests he is primarily a role player rather than a box-score driver. He fits best as a rotational, high-floor depth piece and special-teams contributor, not a headline star.[1][2][3]
