Collinsworth was a serious deep danger owing to his speed, in addition to his height advantage. Collinsworth caught five catches for 107 yards in Super Bowl XVI, but fumbled after he was tackled by San Francisco defensive back Eric Wright. The fumble was returned for a touchdown by San Diego's Tony Bensinger. Collinsworth's wife at the time, Jeannie, was a sideline reporter for NBC Sports. She is now married to Dallas Cowboys color commentator and former NFL player Michael Irvin. In addition to football, Cris Collinsworth also played baseball and basketball throughout his career. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the 27th round of the 1979 draft, but opted not to sign with the team. Collinsworth then went on to play baseball for Boston College before turning to football. He began his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons as a wide receiver and finished it up with the Raiders as their punt returner. During that time, he also worked as a color analyst for Falcon games on CBS. After his NFL career ended, Collinsworth moved on to basketball. He started out with the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1989-90 season, but was traded to the New York Knicks in exchange for Muggsy Bogues. He spent one season with the Knicks before moving on to coach basketball at Southern California University full time. He is currently the head men's basketball coach at USC.
