The famous La’el Collins is an American football offensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. He played college football at Louisiana State University where he won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, recognizing Southeastern Conference’s top offensive lineman, in 2014.
Regarded as a first-round pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and a likely top-ten prospect, Collins started to drop when it was announced that he was scheduled to talk to the Louisiana State police days after the draft, about the shooting death of a pregnant woman with whom he previously had a relationship, even though he was not considered a suspect in the crime. He eventually went undrafted after his agents threatened that he would sit out the season and enter the 2016 NFL Draft if any NFL team selected him after the third round.
