Finally 'at peace' with shortened career, Nick Collins enters Packers Hall of Fame

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Nick Collins is at peace. Finally.

There are two things Charles Woodson knows for certain about his close friend and former Green Bay Packers teammate. One, he is convinced that had Collins' NFL career not been cut short by a 2011 neck injury, he'd be in the process of putting together what someday would be viewed as a Pro Football Hall of Fame résumé.

"Without question, you would have been talking about Nick for the NFL Hall of Fame," Woodson said Saturday night at Lambeau Field, shortly before presenting Collins for induction into the Packers Hall of Fame.
