Super Bowl Backstory: Collieman

Superbowl 44: Unless you live in Indiana or Louisiana, or for some reason god-forsaken reason like the Colts or Saints, this year's matchup is going to be fairly boring. Sure, we have Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, Drew Brees, and Reggie Bush. But the rest of both rosters seem fairly uninteresting.
It was last week's AFC Championship game when Mr. Manning tore up the Jets secondary through the likes of an unsung hero. His name: Austin Collie. He is a very deceiving sonuvabitch, so I was determined to find out more about him. No one can just come into the NFL, having no previous college prestige, and do what this kid's been doing week in and week out. So, Mr. Number 17, I begin my investigative research.
Full name: Austin Kirk Collie
Born: November, 1985, Ontario, Canada
Drafted 127th overall, by the Colts, out of BYU.
Personal Accolades: Graduated with a 4.0 GPA, father, Scott, played in the CFL. Spent many nights in Buenos Aires doing missionary visits under the Church of Latter Day Saints.

All of this seems too mediocre. How can this kid, the 4th receiver on the depth chart, be this good? Hard work in school, good genes, God's help-all of these are normal now-a-day's. What does Austin Collie do that other 4th round picks don't do.
And then........

I found the answer
