re: Jalen Collins says Les Miles and LSU sabotaged his chances of becoming a higher draft pick

widely known that Saban tells NFL teams the truth about his players

Exactly and there is nothing wrong with this but if you are a college athlete going to the NFL this is probably the first time in your life someone has ever said anything negative about you off the field. So in their mind it comes off as a slight or sabotage when in reality the coach is just saying the truth.

Man! How dare Les make shite like that up about Collins! What ever happened to him? Oh, he was cut by Atlanta for failing multiple drug tests. Sounds like Les was honest about what kind of player Collins was, and he proved it by doing the exact same thing at the next level.

Scouts appreciate heads up given by coaches regarding a problematic player. By flagging one athlete as having issues, you earn trust that can then be used to assist the players who did things right

A person that is supposed to have your back sabotaged his draft and cost him money. For what daring to leave early? For smoking a plant? Miles is a c$ck for doing that.

There is zero proof presented that Les sabotaged him. However, there is proof that a 1st round graded player burned out of the league within 2 years of getting there.

Also, as a Coach, over the past decade plus, I have spoken to many high school and college coaches about the athletes in my programs. I always tell the truth. I don't just shite on a kid, but I give an honest assessment and critique. If I become known as a liar then my word becomes useless and it penalizes the kids that I coach in the future.

I see it all the time though, people, parents, kids, athletes mess up or can't slide by, and immediately start pointing the finger else where.

I was actually having this conversation the other day with my wife. To me, it doesn't matter how you get there, it just matters that you do. Once you are there, it's up to you to make the most of it.

Mr. Collins had a leg up on his competition and did nothing with it. Mean while, undrafted players go on to have pro bowl careers. Unless Les was the one shoving shite down his throat, I don't truly understand how he sabotaged him, furthermore, what benefit would have for Les to do so.

For the record I am black and while I recognize that this site has it's fair share of misguided hatred, I don't think this is the case here at all.

I don’t think Miles reported him.

The best college coaches, including Saban try to maintain credibility with NFL teams. For every Collins or A. Johnson, there are a handful of players who deserve a second look by the NFL and those coaches are anxious to help those deserving players.
No NFL scout is going to pass up an opportunity to directly ask about discipline, work ethic, locker room, drug issues, regardless of how diplomatically they may put the question. Most coaches are not going to lie.

He was a 2nd rounder.

Yep look at our former president Trump. Blamed everyone for his problems even blamed a fictional deep state for stealing an election. When the leader of the free world always blames someone else for his problems and never takes personal responsibility for his actions, the general population will emulate his actions. Trumpican snowflakes many of which pollute this board, are a prime example of people who constantly blame others for their shortcomings. They have the victim mentality perfected.

Get some fricking help man. Serious question. Do you do this everywhere you go IRL. Trump was building hotels when Jalen Collins was flunking pot tests at LSU.

We need to talk about Jalen's problematic language, he called less the n word several times. What a bigot.

"Get some fricking help man. Serious question. Do you do this everywhere you go IRL. Trump was building hotels when Jalen Collins was flunking pot tests at LSU."

You can't handle the truth can you snowflake. Is the FBI allowing you to use the computer? I was hoping that was part of your bond after storming the capital for your hero lol. Casting stones at someone for blaming others when your hero has done that his entire life.
