Maliek Collins

Update – 2020 was a rough year for the Raiders defense. Maliek Collins now plays on the Houston Texans. Good Luck Maliek!

Maliek Collins- is a key player in Coach Gruden’s defense improvement plan, Maliek came to the team after 3 years with the Dallas Cowboys. The new Defensive line coach Marinelli signed with the Raiders and brought him to the team too.

They say that after 3 years on the Cowboys, he’s a key component to the defensive line for his leadership as well as his skills. At 25 years old, Maliek is at a level of play that can help explode the defensive. With a 1 year, $6M contract, be looking for some great sacks.

Maliek grew up in Kansas City, both Kansas and Missouri. Even though he lost his father to a heart attack when he was only 6 years old, his mother encouraged his to play sports. Playing both football and wrestling in high school, as a junior, wrestling took him all the way to the quarterfinal round of the State of Missouri wrestling championships. However, as a senior, Maliek was undefeated and won the State of Missouri Wrestling Championship.

Also playing football all through high school, the University of Nebraska noticed him and offered him a football scholarship. Both his wrestling and football skills were noticed by the Dallas Cowboys who drafted him in the 2016 draft, number 67 overall.

With a one-year contract to prove himself and for him to love us, let’s hope Las Vegas becomes his home for a long time. Being single, we are sure that he will be in high demand when personal appearances resume. He is on our watch list. Welcome to Las Vegas Maliek!
