Ex-Michigan football player Nico Collins: 'Felt like I was in no man's land'

Former Michigan star wide receiver Nico Collins said Tuesday that while it would be "bittersweet" to watch his former team open the season at Minnesota on Saturday, he was focused on getting ready for the NFL combine.

On "The Adam Schefter Podcast" on Tuesday night, Collins talked about his decision to opt out when the Big Ten postponed the football season in August, after deciding to return for his senior season.

"Everything was going smooth, just as planned, until this virus outbreak," said Collins, who is currently training in Pensacola, Florida.
