Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins has recorded his first touchdown of the season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, which contains a Cinderella story in itself.
The four-year halfback dragged defenders with him before eventually diving into the end zone to give the Seahawks their first score of the game and a then 7-3 lead.

Alex Collins returns to a franchise he called home for his first season in the league. During his rookie campaign, he tallied 125 yards from 31 carries, resulting in one touchdown. After finding himself in a crowded backfield, the Seahawks elected to waive Collins ahead of the 2017 campaign.
He was then picked up by the Baltimore Ravens, where he spent two seasons giving some exceptional production. During his first season with the franchise, the former Arkansas Razorback rushed for 973 yards from 212 carries, resulting in six touchdowns. After being arrested following a car crash, he was released by the Ravens.
Nearly a year later, Collins was signed back to the Seahawks' practice squad. Due to the many injuries that've currently plagued Seattle's backfield, Collins was able to earn some exposure in Week 10.
