Plus, he played on Astroturf, which for you young un's was basically green plastic grass over concrete. I'm actually surprised anyone who played a position where they got tackled had any longevity back then.
in the 80's my 2 favorite receivers were Collinsworth and Eddie Brown. Throw in Tim McGee and Rodney Holman and you had a dangerous receiving corp. I do agree that I think the turf back then really took the longevity of a lot of these guys careers because they were basically playing on green painted blacktop pavement. That stuff sucked back in the day I remember playing on it.
I think Collinsworth is good enough to some day get into the ROH, but I don't think it'll be for awhile because there's so many other players who should've been in the ring before him.
