Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is engaged to Ciara, Future's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son. As you've surely heard, Future doesn't like Wilson very much. Though Ciara has tried to get Future and Wilson to talk, the 32-year-old Atlanta hip-hop artist is not interested.

Would Wilson actually care if one of his teammates liked Future's music? Probably not. The Seahawks' DJ already stopped playing Future at CenturyLink Field, though. Better safe than sorry when you're talking about the franchise quarterback.

Seahawks rookie running back Alex Collins understands this. Approached by a TMZ reporter Thursday, Collins said he would no longer listen to Future if Wilson asked him to.

"I mean, yeah, team chemistry is more important," Collins said. "I definitely wouldn't want to mess up the locker room."

Collins, 21, was selected in the fifth round of April's draft. He played three seasons at Arkansas, and in his final year he put up impressive numbers: 1,577 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns, an Arkansas single-season record. 

The Seahawks, who are recovering from Marshawn Lynch's retirement, have Thomas Rawls slated as their Day One starter, but expect Collins to have an opportunity to earn that No. 2 spot.
