Jalen Collins will make the 2017 Pro-Bowl

Most Falcons fans are high on Jalen Collins. The 2015 2nd round pick received more playing time this past season, stepping up for an injured Desmond Trufant. He performed fairly well, filling his role and even making a few highlights.

Some still doubt the young corner, as his PED suspension to start the 2016 season was off-putting.

However, Collins has shown he can perform under pressure. Further, his 6-foot-2 and near 200 pound frame make him a great model for the larger and more physical prototypical Dan Quinn cornerback.

With his crazy athleticism and another year of coaching under his belt, Collins just might step up in a big way. Look for him to perform well next season, and look for the league to notice.
