Recommended Posts

NFL Draft Zone @ NFLDraftZone Feb 18

La'el Collins has shorter arms than Brandon Scherff. He's

also shorter in height. Interesting. Maybe OG is in Collins '

future as well.

Riese Draft Analysis @ RieseDraft Feb 18

La'el Collins from LSU is looking at a Zack Martin situation.

All-America LT but 33 1/4 in arms and 6'4" says OG. Stud at

LG or RG tbh

FootballSavages.com Derrik Klassen @ QBKlass 23h

For example, Zack Martin had 32 7/8" arms . La'el Collins ' are

only 3/8" inch longer

draftbreakdown.com Justin Higdon @ afc2nfc Feb 19

23 reps today for Ty Sambrailo, 21 for La'el Collins . Guard -

like measurements. Reminds me of the start to Bitonio's

combine last year.

La ' el Collins is by far the most athletic of the Group 1

linemen. Killing folks.

NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout 6h

La ' el Collins looked very good in drills.

NFL.com Daniel Jeremiah @MoveTheSticks 12h

Really impressed by LSU OT La El Collins ...moving with

ease.

Bryan Fischer @BryanDFischer 11h

La ’ El Collins killing it at drills. Worth noting that he trains

with Randy Gregory so he’s well prepared for the Combine.

NFL.com Brian Billick @ CoachBillick 11h

LSU OT La ' el Collins winning the day so far in early drills.

Impressive feet...looked really good in exaggerated pass set

drill.

Sporting News NFL @sn_nfl 11h

La'el Collins is owning OL workouts today.

draftbreakdown.com Joe Marino @ TheJoeMarino 12h

La'El Collins really has me rethinking my initial thought that

his best fit is inside at guard . Moving so well today. Fluid

with great hips.

andthevalleyshook.com Dan Davis @ ATVS_PaulCrewe 12h

That’s good for Collins . Needs to prove his athleticism is

enough to overcome height and, more importantly, short

arms .

Draft Scout 24/7 @DraftScout247 9h

OL who made themselves some money today: La ' El Collins ,

LSU Jake Fisher, Oregon Brandon Scherff, Iowa

NFL.com's Bucky Brooks lists Collins as one of his four buzzworthy prospects at the Combine today:

"La'el Collins, OL, LSU: It's hard to find a big, athletic blocker with a nasty temperament and polished game, but Collins checks all the boxes. He showed exceptional agility, athleticism and explosiveness during the "Olympic drills" on Friday. Collins clocked 5.12 in the 40-yard dash, which is certainly impressive for a 6-foot-4, 305-pounder with a chiseled frame. In positional drills, Collins flashed exceptional balance, body control and agility. He is surprisingly light on his feet, yet powerful when making contact with defenders at the point of attack. Collins routinely jolted foes with his short punches in blocking drills. Although practice drills aren't a true simulation of game action, the fact that Collins displayed the strength, power and agility of a blue-chip prospect could make him one of the first offensive linemen to come off the board on draft day."
