Former LSU offensive tackle La’el Collins met with Baton Rouge police Monday as part of the investigation to the murder of Brittany Mills. Mills, who was 29 years old and pregnant at the time of her death, had a previous relationship with Collins.
No team drafted Collins, who was expected to be a 1st round pick in this past weekends NFL Draft. Teams didn’t want to take a chance on Collins, who police say is not a suspect in the case. La’el Collins met with Baton Rouge police for about an hour, on Monday. And, while Collins didn’t speak with the media after the meeting, his attorney Jim Boren made a brief statement.
“It went fine; we answered all their questions, La’el is not going to make any comments. I’m not going to have any comments. The investigation is going to continue. La’el is now going to start making an effort to start getting his football career back on track.”
Collins next option, could be to sign as a free-agent for 3 years. He has said, he might sit out the season and re-enter the 2016 NFL Draft.
