Jamie Collins “surprised” to be back with Pats, but ready to work

Linebacker Jamie Collins Sr. has had an interesting career path thus far – especially as it relates to the Patriots.

Drafted by the team in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Collins was shockingly and unceremoniously exiled to the Cleveland Browns after just three-and-a-half seasons. Once considered to be the most physically gifted and talented player on New England’s entire defensive roster, suddenly he found himself playing for a woebegone Browns team that would end up with a 1-15 record… the very same year the Patriots would make history by overcoming a 25-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in overtime of the Super Bowl.
