When I went home [from Chicago], I was sitting in my living room watching the draft, I couldn't take it no more. I didn't want to talk about football, I didn't want to be around football. I didn't want to know what was going on. It was hard to be happy for a long time, a long time. The rest of that week, I just sat in that dark room. I lost weight. I couldn't eat.


:(

I worked so hard for years to have the right image. In college, I never got in trouble, never did anything. I was always a leader. I was two years on the Unity Council.



B/R: What's Unity Council?

Collins: It's a group that the coaches and the players choose. They pick a guy at each position to represent that position on the council to [LSU] Coach [Les] Miles. If there are issues on the team he wants to talk about to the whole team, he goes to the Unity Council first. It's a leadership group.

I was a captain for two years, done everything you can do. I went to the Senior Bowl when other guys didn't go to the Senior Bowl. You did everything. You went to the combine. You did every single thing up to that point and then have it be gone, just leave.


It's really cool that that council exists.

That was a great interview. Honest and interesting questions and honest responses. Really feel for him, he didn't deserve what happened to him.

Makes me sad when he says how he wanted to buy his mom a house but now that has to wait

It is, and it is really a shame it was taken out of context by the media after Hill

So that's what the "Team Vote" thing was about? Damn.

I still want to kick some people's arse on this site because of that whole story. And the sad fact is I got my balls busted for the first few weeks when I supported him on here
