Well that didn't last long. Former Wilson QB Kerry Collins - who helped lead the 1989 squad to the PIAA-AAAA State Championship Game - is back in the NFL, joining the Indianapolis Colts. Collins, who decided to retire in early July, was pulled back to the gridiron by Jim Irsay & Bill Polian to become Peyton Manning's backup.

However, it is possible that Collins may be more than Manning's backup, at least to start the season. The legendary Colts QB is recovering from offseason neck surgery & has not yet practiced or participated in a preseason game. Some are wondering if Manning may miss the first week or two of the regular season. Indianapolis starts their season on Sunday, September 11th, at Houston. Their week 2 match is at home against the Browns on the 18th.

Collins has been a prolific NFL passer to date, placing 9th all-time in completions, 11th all-time in yards & 29th all-time in TD passes. Indianapolis will be his 6th NFL squad.
Good luck, Kerry!
