At the end of the 1994 season, Todd Collins quit the Patriots and returned to his Tennessee farm to raise chickens and turkeys. Though 24 and healthy, the 6'2", 245-pound linebacker had lost the fire. "I don't know if you'd call it burnout," he says. "But I was taking football for granted." Not anymore. Collins returned in '96 and emerged as the Pats' most athletic defender. A trip to the Pro Bowl could be next. "I knew I would come back eventually," says Collins. "It was almost a sin to throw my talent and ability under a rock."
