"What happened (Sunday) is something I will remember for the rest of my life. Not many get the opportunity to be put in the situation I was in. I've received plenty of texts from friends and family reminding me how ridiculous it is that I'm a rookie and I'm going to the Super Bowl."—Collie after the AFC Championship Game with the Coltshttp://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/article/2010-01-26/wonder-kids-catch-on-fast-keep-colts-super-level

"I think he's still learning and developing. Every week he's getting a little different taste of the difficulty in finding holes in coverages that we face, but he adjusts quickly and well.
