Before La’el Collins inked a deal with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, his former coach threw support behind him publicly.
LSU coach Les Miles, who lobbied for Collins to be allowed to enter the supplemental draft in July, said he wanted to see the offensive lineman get paid.
“What I would like to see is a guy — who’s really performed well for our team and has given us great leadership who has continued to raise his market level heading toward draft day — be given just and fair market value,” Miles said Thursday, per Ross Dellenger of The Advocate.
