The NFL Draft has come and gone, but the saga of LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins continues.

Collins, an all-SEC lineman who was projected as a first-round draft pick, was not drafted after it became known that police in Baton Rouge, La., were looking to interview him as part of a double murder investigation.

The meeting took place Monday, and Collins’ attorney, Jim Boren, expressed optimism his client would be able to put the ordeal behind him. Boren said Collins is not a suspect in the crime.

“I think he’s not a suspect. He answered all the questions they had. Every question,” Boren told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “We didn’t claim the Fifth [Amendment]. We answered every single question. We gave them all the information they asked for. He’s ready to get his life back.”

Collins’ former girlfriend, Brittney Mills, was shot to death after opening the front door of her home in Baton Rouge on April 24. Mills was pregnant at the time. The unborn child survived the shooting, but died last week in the hospital.

Assuming Collins is cleared of any wrongdoing, his path to an NFL team will be interesting to watch.

After Thursday night’s first round, his agent told teams that Collins would not sign with any team that drafted him after the third round and would re-enter the draft in 2016. However, players who go undrafted in a given year cannot re-enter a future draft.

Collins would now have to sign as an undrafted free agent, which means he will only receive a league-minimum contract. As a result, his signing bonus will be relatively paltry.
