Michigan Football: Nico Collins NFL draft strategy is paying off

Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports

Nico Collins opted out of the 2020 Michigan football season but so far, it hasn’t hurt him when it comes to the NFL draft.

I’ll admit that when former Michigan football player Nico Collins decided not to take part in the 2020 season for the Wolverines, I didn’t think it would help his NFL draft stock.

I didn’t necessarily think it would hurt the way teams thought of Collins, especially if he worked out well and all of that.

But if other wide receivers put together big seasons, which some did, it felt like he could get washed down draft boards a little bit.
