La’el Collins is a highly touted offensive tackle from LSU but went undrafted in the 2015 NFL Draft due to legal controversy. Collins former girlfriend Brittney Mills was murdered and though he was suspected to be the father of her unborn child, the police made it clear that he was not a suspect in the crime. Still teams were hesitant to pick him up with the case still hanging over his head. Collins left during the Draft to meet with investigators to clear his name and he’s finally done so.
According to ESPN’s Josina Anderson, “I’ve been notified by representatives of OT La’el Collins that his paternity test results were negative. Specifically, Collins is not the father of Brittney Mills’ child and Collins passed A polygraph test administered by an independent investigator in connection with Mills’ case.”
Collins met with Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan and has a meeting with the Dallas Cowboys amongst several other teams that are interested in him. He’ll be able to move on from the situation and get to choose which team he signs with.
