Good for him. Who woulda thought it in 2012 though?


After last year, I thought he'd be a James Wright type draft pick. Get picked up mostly bc of special teams value.

He's really developed, and that's awesome for him.

Yep, and you can't coach height, like you said.

good for him..this was expected. happy he worked hard and improved so much this year


I thought his play was vastly improved this year. He was a very good CB. If he leaves, nothing but best wishes but would love to see him in P&G at CB another year.

Will miss him next year. As with every underclassman with this decision; I hope it was the right one.


He's a redshirt junior. I can't fault a guy for leaving after 4 years.

He will grade very well at the combine. His speed and size are perfect for an NFL CB.

He also improved his play dramatically this year and has been in college 4 years.

One of those few early departures I totally agree with.

Me!
Said it 100 times to all the idiots who were saying Collins was dog shite. Over and over I said he'd go early and in the top three rounds.

Great year and great news for Jalen. I can't help but wonder what kind of hype he would've gotten if he hadn't dropped any picks this year. Regardless, he's a freak athlete, good luck to him!

Would feel more comfortable if we knew something about Robinson, but don't blame a four year player for leaving when it's likely he is picked in the first 3 rounds. Wish him back, but if not wish him well.

Mills and Collins are expected to go. Good luck to them both.

Kwon Alexander and Vadal Alexander are the two biggest pieces to keep.

Then Hawkins after them.

Between him and Rasco, but yeah, the kid delivered. HUGE turnaround from 2013.

Good Job Jalen and good luck.

Yup. Collins earned this, he put in the work and it's time to go get paid. A lot of people say he's one of the better athletes on the team. I hope he shows out at the combine. I'll miss his dance moves and enthusiasm on kickoffs the most.

Happy for the kid. Tall corner that has improved tremendously. Strike while the iron is hot young man.

While Robinson is certainly talented, I'm starting to think it might be a good riddance if LSU lets him walk. Some guys just aren't worth the headache anymore.

LSU still has Tre White, Ed Paris, and Kevin Tolliver coming in. Dwayne Thomas might return to form after his injury as well. We aren't lacking for CB's. Put them into the NFL, and the recruits will keep on coming.

Not that it matters, was he able to complete his degree. I think, as everyone does, that him leaving makes sense...I am just hoping he graduates too

Good for him. Not bad for a kid who had zero offers when he showed up at LSUs camp in 2010 and earned an offer.

Our DBs are too deep and too young. He'd provide us serious leadership, but that won't get better or anything. So makes sene for him to capitalize, have great workouts and a solid showing at the combine.
