OXNARD, Calif. – Rookie offensive lineman La’el Collins had noticeable swelling above and below his right eye after Thursday’s preseason opener. But he didn’t appear to be in any pain. He actually never stopped smiling while talking about it.
The undrafted rookie the Cowboys signed shortly after the draft was just happy to be playing football.
“You live every day to make that dream come true, and just to be out there is a dream come true,” Collins said. “I was just, I was locked in. I was ready to roll. It was just a great opportunity to be out there and have fun.
