The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Collie doesn’t plan to quit playing football after the Colts released him, but he does understand that if he’s going to remain in the NFL, he’s going to have to find a team that can be convinced he can stay healthy. Collie told Don Banks of SI.com that the knee injury that cut short his 2012 season, and especially the multiple concussions he has suffered, will have teams wondering whether he’s ever going to make it through an NFL season again. “I definitely think there’s a question mark surrounding me,” Collie said.

The veteran wideout added: "I had those two high-profile concussions on national TV back in 2010, the year everyone started to really make a huge deal about concussions in this league, and there I was, Exhibit A, right in the middle of it all. So everybody obviously uses me as the poster boy for the concussion issue. That’s the first thing that comes out. My name is used as the example.” Collie says he understands the risks associated with continuing to play and he’s a little tired of people who don’t know that doctors have cleared him telling him that he should retire. Still, that perception that he's not "sound" is going to linger. And it's going to have an impact on teams interested in adding him to their roster.
