He concluded the 2008 season as a member of the Browns practice squad.

The Mission Viejo, California native enjoyed a four-year career at Washington State, registering 80 catches for 899 yards (11.2 avg.) and six TDs. He also tallied eight carries for 12 yards (1.5 avg.) with two TDs. Collins played both fullback and linebacker for the Cougars before making the switch to tight end as a junior. He finished his prep career at Mission Viejo High School.
