In the case of La’el Collins, there are football interests, collective bargaining ramifications, and public relations decisions worthy of scrutiny and discussion. But in doing so, we must not lose sight of the most important—and heinous—detail: A woman and the baby she was carrying were slain last Friday, and the killer is likely at large.
That said, my expertise after polling teams and agents, is on the football side of things, so that’s what I’ll discuss here. And I’ll start with an educated guess: La’el Collins will get drafted today in Chicago.
Before I explain, a recap: Collins, the former LSU offensive lineman, was invited to attend the draft and expected to go in the first round.
