Pro Bowls (2): 1996, 2008

PRO: Kerry Collins, the NFL’s second-leading active passer (with Brett Favre retired), enters his fourth season with the Titans and his 15th season in the NFL. In 2008, the veteran signal caller earned his second career Pro Bowl selection after starting the final 15 games and leading the Titans to the NFL’s best record. Collins finished the season with an 80.2 passer rating, the third-best mark of his career, and he became just the 15th player in NFL history to surpass 35,000 career passing yards and ranks 14th in NFL history with 37, 393 passing yards. He has engineered 29 career game-winning performances, leading his team to victory after a fourth-quarter deficit or tie, including two games in 2008 (vs. IND, vs. GB). His career totals include 5,669 attempts, 3,160 completions, 37,393 yards and 186 touchdowns. The only active quarterback with more passing yards than Collins is Peyton Manning (45,628). He was signed by the Titans as an unrestricted free agent during the 2006 preseason (8/26/06) to bring experience and leadership to the offense. Prior to joining the Titans, Collins played 11 previous seasons with the Carolina Panthers (1995-98), New Orleans Saints (1998), New York Giants (1999-03) and Oakland Raiders (2004-05). He has led his teams to the playoffs four times as a starter, including an appearance in the NFC Championship Game following the 1996 season with the Panthers and a Super Bowl appearance following the 2000 season with the Giants. In 2005, Collins started 15 games and attempted 565 passes, the second-most in Raiders history (618 by Rich Gannon in 2002). He passed for 3,759 yards and 20 touchdowns on 302 completions. It was the sixth consecutive season in which he passed for more than 3,000 yards. In 2002 with the Giants, Collins enjoyed the most prolific season by a quarterback in Giants history. He set a team record, was first in the NFC and was fourth in the NFL with 4,073 passing yards, surpassing Phil Simms’ 1984 record of 4,044 yards. His 545 passes were the second-highest total in team history behind his own 2001 mark of 568 attempts. Collins recorded career highs in 2002 for completions (335), completion percentage (61.5 percent), passing yards (4,073) and passer rating (85.4). In 2000, Collins passed the 3,000-yard marker for the first time in his career and posted a career-high 22 touchdowns as he led the Giants to Super Bowl XXXV. He earned a Pro Bowl appearance in 1996 after he led the Panthers to the NFC Championship Game in his second season as a signal caller in the NFL. As a rookie in 1995, Collins started 13 games and was a first-team all-rookie selection by College and Pro Football Newsweekly, Football News and Pro Football Weekly/PFWA. His 7-6 record as a starter made him the first rookie quarterback with at least nine starts to post a winning record since Dan Marino’s 7-3 mark with Miami in 1983. Collins was originally selected by the Panthers in the first round (fifth overall) of the 1995 NFL Draft, becoming the first draft pick in the expansion team’s history.

TITANS TIDBITS:

• In his spare time, Collins, an avid country music fan, enjoys writing country music. He has been working with top writers in Nashville like Ed Hill (Faith Hill’s It Matters To Me), Billy Lawson (Trace Adkins‘ I Left Something Turned On at Home), Lee Thomas Miller (Trace Adkins‘ You’re Gonna Miss This), the Warren Brothers (Tim McGraw’s If You’re Reading This), Paul Overstreet and Grammy-award winner Jamey Johnson.

• Collins finds peace and comfort with his wife, Brooke, and daughter, Riley, on his 1,580-acre farm in Troy, N.C. “Blue Q Ranch” was named as such by Collins because every team for whom he ever played quarterback (Q) besides the Oakland Raiders used blue as one of their primary colors. There are over 700 head of registered angus cattle on the property. He often says some of his happiest days are on a horse at the ranch.

• The K.C. for Kids Foundation has recently starting working with Y-CAP, a YMCA center dedicated to serving at-risk youth in East Nashville - one heart, one mind and one spirit at a time. The youth-based program aims to redirect behavior by teaching values and rebuilding families.

• In addition to tending to matters on his farm, Collins spends much of his free time fishing and hunting deer, wild turkey and wild boar.

• The K.C. for Kids Foundation worked extensively with New York University Medical Center’s Rusk Institute. Collins donated his time and resources to help the facility’s children’s rehabilitation program.
