The San Francisco 49ers selected Texas defensive tackle Alfred Collins with the No. 43 pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Collins spent just one season as a full-time starter but played in 64 games — with 28 starts — over five seasons at Texas. He had 7 1/2 career sacks and finished his final season with 55 tackles, 5 1/2 tackles for loss, one sack and seven passes defended while starting all 16 games for the Longhorns and helping Texas reach the semifinals of the College Football Playoff.
‘The Beast’ breakdown
Collins ranked No. 68 in Dane Brugler’s top 300 big board. Here’s what Brugler had to say about him in his annual NFL Draft guide:
A coordinated big man, Collins plays with natural power and does a great job as a two-gapper, stacking, peeking and grounding ball carriers between the tackles. His hands are more heavy than disciplined, and he struggles to root himself versus doubles because of his tall pads. Overall, Collins is still learning how to maximize his size and talent, but he took a sizable jump this past season and shows the physical traits to be a disruptive force, especially against the run. He will provide immediate depth as a rookie, and his snap count should increase with experience.
Scott Dochterman grades the pick
By design, Alfred Collins (6-5 5/8, 332) is the requisite two-gap defensive tackle necessary for San Francisco’s defense with his girth, incredible wingspan (85 inches) and arm length (35 inches). He batted down six passes last year for Texas and boasted 5 1/2 tackles for loss without pass rush being his first responsibility. Collins will be an immediate rotational piece with starting ability. The 49ers are remaking their defensive front.
Grade: A

Quem é e como joga Sudakov, o médio ofensivo ucraniano que o Benfica contratou ao Shakhtar?
Jogador de 22 anos ©IMAGO Já em cima do fecho do mercado, que em Portugal será na noite de segunda-feira, o Benfica oficializou a contratação de Georgiy Sudakov, um médio ofensivo - que também pode jogar noutras posições, mas já lá vamos - de apenas 22 anos e que chega à Luz proveniente do Shakhtar Donetsk.

Soupeři básní o Dukle, trenér se ošívá: Na vysokou školu fotbalu nám něco chybí
Místo toho se v sobotu vpodvečer na Julisce zrodila plichta 1:1.Místo výhry musela Duklu alespoň těšit slova uznání, která pronášel na tiskovce hradecký kouč David Horejš: „Respektuju sílu a kvalitu domácích. Je to úplně jiná Dukla než v minulé sezoně.“„V klubu se změnilo snad úplně všechno. Je to přirozený proces,“ navazoval domácí kouč Holoubek, když se posadil na stejnou židli, aby po Horejšovi zhodnotil remízový zápas. „Davidovi děkuju za kompliment a přeju mu, aby další zápas vyhrál. Má dobrý tým a on je dobrý trenér.“Co chybělo, abyste Hradec porazili?Viděli jsme remízový zápas, protože jsme prospali jsme první poločas nebo minimálně jeho část. Byli jsme nepřesní a chaotičtí. Stálo nás to inkasovanou branku. Měli jsme pak šance zápas otočit, ale nepovedlo se to.

College football winners, losers in Week 1: LSU flexes national title-caliber defense, Arch Manning falls flat
College football has never been more unpredictable as the transfer portal and NIL deliver massively transformed rosters. And with that, Week 1 gave us one of the most electric weeks of college football that we've had in years. Right off the top, five AP Top 25 teams fell before the end of Week 1, including three in the top 10. Texas became the first preseason No. 1 team to lose its opener since Miami fell to BYU in 1990. But even down the board, there were major shakeups. Auburn looked the part of a complete team in a dominant win against Baylor. North Dakota gave Kansas State a tremendous scare. Tulane crushed Big Ten foe Northwestern by three touchdowns. Every game is a moment to be shocked. College football rankings: Ohio State, Florida State set for big moves as Texas, Alabama drop […]
