The NFL community is mourning the loss of former Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins, who died on Sunday night in an accident at just 28 years old. Collins clearly made a big impact on the people around him, especially former teammates and fans.
Here’s an awesome story about Collins that former Commanders and Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III shared on Twitter about a night out with Collins in Baltimore.
“Alex Collins was so special man. Amazing teammate and a guy everyone was down to kick it with. This man invited me and wifey out one time in Baltimore and I will never forget it. We show up to the spot and AC is no where to be found. We are looking around for him for 20 min and finally I feel a little nudge on my shoulder. I turnaround and AC is walking behind me, drops his shades to his nose and signals with his eyes to follow him. It was so funny and smooth, we forgot he was 20 min late. AC told us he had to be discreet because he couldn’t have everyone knowing he was there. The rest of the night, we found out why. Everywhere AC went that night everyone knew him. Everyone was excited to see him, laughing when he came around and showing him love. You see everyone loved this man and his energy was contagious. To end the night, he hit this dance with all the fans watching him on the dance floor. WHAT A NIGHT and WHAT A GUY AC WAS. Shared more laughs than people know and I’m blessed to have been your teammate my brother. Rest In Peace.”
