How will Michigan football's replace Nico Collins' production? With speed, athleticism

There's a Nico Collins-sized hole in Michigan football's receivers room right now.

The star pass-catcher's departure became official Monday, when he was removed from the roster and coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Collins was no longer with the program.

"Nico is not participating in football right now," Harbaugh said Monday afternoon. "I don’t have a crystal ball as to if his mind would change or not. I know he’s not currently on the team.”

Collins' absence has been anticipated for some time now, at least ever since reports emerged that he signed with high-powered NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus.
