FRANKLIN, Tenn. — The first guy who succeeded Kerry Collins as the Giants’ quarterback is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and the second one likely is headed there.
But 15 years later, Collins has done just fine for himself, too, thank you.
At 45 and after a pro career that lasted from 1995-2011, he said he has no lingering physical problems from playing and has settled on a 65-acre property near Nashville, where he lives with his wife, Brooke, and teenage daughter.
For several years he pursued country music writing, but that is on hold for now after “the luster kind of came off and it felt too much like I had another job coming out of playing NFL football for 17 years, and that’s not what I want.
