veteran Idaho State DB known for toughness and ball skills
Erik Collins stands out as a physical, playmaking defensive back for Idaho State, with the clearest verified production coming from his earlier Bengals seasons: in the 2015 season he started all 11 games with 50 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and two interceptions, after posting 25 tackles, three interceptions, and six pass breakups in 2014. His profile reads like a coach’s favorite—versatile, durable, and willing to do the gritty work in coverage and run support. The main watch item is that publicly available current-season stats are limited, so his value is best judged by his proven instincts and opportunistic style rather than a flashy stat line.
