LSU coach Les Miles engaged in a passionate defense of his former player La’El Collins, and tried to make that case with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. But Goodell didn’t take his call.
Miles told the Times-Picayune that he wanted to make a personal plea to Goodell to allow Collins to enter the supplemental draft after questions were raised about the murder of Collins’s ex-girlfriend. As it turned out, Collins went from a first-round prospect to an undrafted free agent, which will cost him millions of dollars. After Collins talked to police this week they said he is not a suspect, and he signed with the Cowboys today.
