Penn State fans should be very familiar with Collins. Collins played in Happy Valley from 1991-1994. He led the team to 4 consecutive bowl game appearances. His NFL career spanned from 1995-2011. Collins played for the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, and Tennessee Titans before finishing off his career with the Indianapolis Colts in 2011.
It should be great for fans of both teams to see the former players take the field for the coin toss in Atlanta. Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be at noon ET on Dec. 30 via ESPN.
