Russell Wilson and Collins were together every season that Collins spent in Seattle. He also played a lot with Tyler Lockett, who also took to twitter and shared a simple “RIP bro” message to his former teammate.

It's hard to imagine what a lot of these people that were close to Collins are feeling right now, and it likely very difficult to find the words in a situation like this. It will be hard for these players and teams to take the field again after a tragedy like this, but they will be honoring Collins every time that they do.
