Chris Collinsworth is a former professional wide receiver in the NFL. He played college football for the University of Florida, and was recognized as an All-American. 

Collinsworth was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round (37th pick overall) of the 1981 NFL Draft and spent his entire eight-year NFL career with the Bengals.  He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving four times and was named to the Pro Bowl in 1981, 1982 and 1983.
