Injuries to both Peyton Manning and Austin Collie kept the quarterback and slot receiver from playing even a full two seasons worth of games together with the Indianapolis Colts nearly a decade ago.
For Collie, concussions helped cut short his time in Indy. For Manning, a neck injury knocked him out for the 2011 season.
Even with those setbacks, though, the future Hall of Famer Manning and former BYU standout Collie showed they had a strong connection in 2009 and 2010.
