4th & Goal

Game-Day Edition is the raw, unfiltered record of what it actually costs to compete at the highest level. No hindsight. No rewrite. No highlight reel.
Just the real-time thoughts of a player fighting to survive in the NFL.

What Makes This Book Different
Most sports biographies are written after the career ends. This one was written while it was happening.

• The fear before training camp when nothing is guaranteed
• The moment a teammate’s locker disappears overnight
• The conversations that determine whether you stay or go
• The injuries you play through because the alternative is going home

This is the NFL from the perspective most people never see — not the superstar, but the no-name player battling every day to stay on the roster.

Why This Story Stands Out
Collins wasn’t supposed to make it. That’s exactly why this story matters.

Because this isn’t about talent alone. It’s about endurance. Adaptability. And surviving in an environment where the margin for error is zero.

Foreword
Featuring a foreword by former teammate Dan Orlovsky, NFL veteran quarterback and ESPN analyst.

Who This Is For

• The sports fan who wants a real, behind-the-scenes look at surviving life inside the NFL outside the spotlight
• The competitor who respects the grind more than the shine
• The reader who wants an honest story about pressure, failure, grit and persistence on a daily basis
• Anyone who has ever been told they weren’t good enough — and kept showing up anyway

This is what happens when the dream isn’t guaranteed. When every day could be your last. When survival is the job.

The NFL didn’t give him a story. He wrote it while he was living it.
