Alfred Collins isn't your typical 49ers defensive tackle. Collins is built to defend the run. He's big and extremely difficult to move.

Collins, at 332 pounds, is the heaviest defensive tackle drafted since 2017 under general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan, the latter of whom is also a Texas product. Collins played five seasons at Texas, accruing 7 1/2 sacks and 142 tackles.

The San Francisco 49ers selected Texas DL Alfred Collins with the No. 43 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. 'Strong as an ox' is a phrase that comes to mind when describing Alfred Collins' game. He has good size, length and strength to be an effective run defender at the next level.
