    Dolphins follow suit. Send Philbin and 3 former LSU teammates to recruit Collins (including Kelvin Sheppard).

      I believe the reason no one drafted him is because they all got a call from Goodell encouraging them to pass. They said something to this regard in one of the draft broadcasts - suggesting that.

        So in your mind that equals Winston didn't rape her? Yeah ok. In this country rape on college campuses is an epidemic, also in the military. It's not even reported in many cases because the woman knows the ordeal she'll have to go through and unless the investigation is handled just right the perp often walks or isn't charged. Could she be a gold digger that just made the story up for a pay day? Sure it's possible. Just not likely. Statistically the odds of a falsely reported rape in the US are < 10%. Yet we assume a self entitled punk that stole crab legs is telling the truth? I think he raped her. Not charged doesn't equal innocent.

          I understand, but that is not my point. I'm saying that he cannot reenter the draft in 2016. I don't believe any players has ever done that, go undrafted and enter the draft again the following year.

            I think he's innocent................ if he signs with the bills.

            If he signs with the Dolphins give him the CHAIR! No questions asked.

Punk ass.

                Because it's not allowed.

                  Re: Collins has a meeting scheduled with the Bills

                  @ArmandoSalguero: Dolphins coach Joe Philbin is not visiting La'el Collins in Baton Rouge or anywhere else. Neither are Mike Tannenbaum nor Dennis Hickey.

                      If a player gets drafted and doesn't sign with the team, he goes back into the draft. The team has exclusive rights for one year for that player. Now since Collins is a UDFA, he can't re-enter the draft because he was never drafted.

                        Re: Collins has a meeting scheduled with the Bills

                        Here's an article that explains that collins would need to have been drafted to re-enter the draft in 2016

                        The confusing case of LSU tackle La'el Collins has clarity in one major respect: If Collins isn't drafted on Saturday, he can't re-enter the draft in 2016.

                          This is why you bring in coaches like Ryan. They have experience working the media in delicate situations like this and they have the star power to bring in players who would normally have gone elsewhere.

                                I saw his interview with Jim Harbaugh when asked about the crab legs, he said his buddy who worked there just gave it to him and he thought that was OK. Really? Did he think his buddy owned Publilx or something? A guy that works behind the counter doesn't have the authority to give away free products. Yet Winston isn't smart enough to even consider that. Punk ass.

                                Not to mention that it's a different tune than the one he sang when caught. He said he forgot to pay. Then changed the story to Harbaugh. Free crab legs is an impermissible benefit, and an NCAA violation.

                                So, you have an athlete who has done nothing but display a sense of entitlement and an affinity for changing his story. But the Tallahassee Police Department (proven Seminole football supporters) saw no reason to even question him immediately following the charge. They set about a smear campaign to discredit the young lady to protect the program.
                                The TPD should be cratered for the cover up lengths they'll go to to protect the Football team.

                                Different example, but If I had left the scene of an accident, only to return an hour (and without everyone in the vehicle) later, I wouldn't have gotten a slap on the hand like Darby did.


                                The bottom line being, consequences and repercussions help formulate the person you will become. What kind of person will you be if you feel as though the rules do not apply to you? And you have the financial wherewithal to do whatever you want?
