Report: Free-Agent CB Jalen Collins Suspended for 1st 10 Games of 2018 Season

Former Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jalen Collins, who is a free agent, has reportedly been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 season, according to Field Yates of ESPN. 

Collins was a second-round pick in the 2015 draft but only appeared in 24 games over the past three years. He was waived by the Falcons last November and hasn't found a new job since.

As Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk noted, he has now been suspended four different times in his career for violating the league's policies on both substance abuse and performance-enhancing drugs.

With the latest punishment, Collins has been suspended for 28 games.

However, he is apparently not letting any criticism get to him:

The 25-year-old has been a quality contributor when on the field, playing all 16 games as a rookie in 2015 while gaining an even bigger role in 2016. He started six of eight regular-season games and finished with two interceptions and 10 passes defended.

He also started Super Bowl LI against the New England Patriots and totaled 11 tackles in the 34-28 loss.

Unfortunately, that was Collins' last appearance in a competitive game, as his suspensions led to the end of his career with the Falcons. With another violation on his record, it will make it difficult for him to get another job in the NFL.
