Agent: OL La'el Collins not meeting with NFL teams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NEW ORLEANS — La’el Collins is not meeting with NFL teams about his pro football future at this time, his agent said Tuesday.

Collins, who is represented by Deryk Gilmore, is an undrafted free agent because NFL teams decided against selecting the former All-Southeastern Conference offensive tackle from LSU in last week’s draft.

He was widely projected as a first-round choice. While Collins has not been named as a suspect or a person of interest in any crime, teams became apprehensive about drafting him when Baton Rouge Police said they wanted to interview him about the shooting death of a pregnant woman he knew.
