It might seem like a foreign concept for a school so known for its run-first identity to produce one of the best receivers in the NFL. Well, it’s not exactly foreign for Michigan, as Nico Collins has emerged to be one of the best deep threats in all of football over the last three seasons for the Houston Texans.
But before Collins was catching passes from C.J. Stroud with the Texans, he was a part of a talented receiver group in Ann Arbor alongside Donovan Peoples-Jones, Tarik Black, and a young Ronnie Bell.
Collins had his best seasons with Michigan in 2018 and 2019, where he caught a combined 75 passes for 1,361 yards and 13 touchdowns.
