The Seahawks have started to clear up their crowded running back corps. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (via Twitter), the organization has waived second-year back Alex Collins.
The Seahawks selected the Arkansas product in the fifth round of the 2016 draft, and he proceeded to appear in 11 games as a rookie. Collins finished the season with 125 rushing yards and one touchdown on 31 carries, and he added another 11 receptions for 84 yards. The 23-year-old also saw some action in the postseason, finishing with 55 all-purpose yards. We heard earlier this week that the Seahawks were shopping Collins.
The Seahawks still have to trim down their running back depth behind starter Thomas Rawls. Eddie Lacy and C.J. Prosise seem like locks to make the roster, but the team is rostering another four running backs in Chris Carson, Mike Davis, J.D. McKissic, and Tre Madden.
When you click on Mike Davis it says he’s 61 years old! Ha what’s up with that
