He played college football at Northwestern University and attended Saint Thomas Academy in Mendota Heights, Minnesota.[1] He was also a member of the Frankfurt Galaxy, Carolina Panthers, Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos.

Early years

Professional career

Dallas Cowboys

Collins was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent after not being selected in the 2001 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he was converted from a defensive tackle to an offensive tackle. He was assigned to the Frankfurt Galaxy for the 2002 NFL Europe season, where he was named a starter.

In 2002, he started 4 games at right tackle, including the 17-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks where running back Emmitt Smith broke the NFL all-time rushing record. In that same contest, he suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee, that forced him to miss 7 games.[2] The next year he was declared inactive in 15 games.

On August 24, 2004, after being demoted to third string, he was traded to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for a conditional draft choice (not exercised).[3][4]

Carolina Panthers

Collins was waived by the Carolina Panthers on September 4, 2004.[3][5]
