Caught this article on The Lady Sportswriter blog about underrated athletes in the 2010 draft. The second guy names on the list is our very own DaJuane Collins. The sole representative from the MAC on this list, check out her take on #22:

DaJuane Collins won’t be the fastest back on the field, not by a long shot, his 4.5 forty won’t wow too many scouts. However, speed isn’t always the most important factor when sizing up a back and Collins, at 5’11, 225 pounds is a solid back to handle short-yardage and goal-line duties.

As a senior at Toledo, he was All-MAC, third team, after rushing for 900+ yards. That may not seem impressive for a MAC player but the Rockets were more prone to go to the air than the ground so Collins made the most of every opportunity—his effort netted him nearly 6.0 yards per carry.

He’s got better than average vision and despite his 4.5 speed, he’s elusive and capable of breaking off long runs if he has the space. He’s definitely a gamer.

For more stats and info on Collins, check out ESPN. While Collins is an excellent candidate for this list, I thought we might see Barry Church or Stephen Williams here too — though Church might not be much of a sleeper.
