Eventually, in nearly no time, his college success led to his selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 1981 NFL Draft.

During his eight-season career with the Bengals, he earned three Pro Bowl selections and played in two Super Bowls.

After his brief stint in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals in the 80s, Collinsworth became a sports commentator.

In fact, Collinsworth is reportedly soon to sign an extension as NBC’s top NFL analyst for “Sunday Night Football.“
