Star LSU Lineman La’el Collins Wanted for Questioning by Baton Rouge Police
Bad news for the LSU football program again today as police hunt for star player La'el Collins.
Collins is expected to be a first round pick in the draft which kicks off Thursday. He is wanted by Baton Rouge police for questioning following the shooting death of a pregnant woman last week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
"Brittany Mills, 29, is believed by police to be a former girlfriend of Collins. Police said Collins is not currently a suspect in the shooting, only that they want to talk to him to see if he can assist with the information," according to Schefter's report.
The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Baton Rouge native is expected to be among the first 20 players picked -- possibly as high as No. 13 by the Saints - and unlikely to make it to No. 20. Some scouts and many analysts think he's the best offensive lineman in the draft.
