Kerry Collins is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the history of Penn State football.
It’s not hard to see just why. He guided the Nittany Lions’ most prolific offense in 1994, on an undefeated team that scored just shy of 50 points per game. He was a Heisman candidate, a Davey O’Brien and Maxwell awards winner, and a leader for a team bursting with offensive firepower.
He was deservedly named to the College Football Hall of Fame on Monday. But his career wasn’t filled with just praise and trophies.
He had to overcome obstacles and adversity month after month, year after year.
