When the draft came to an end, Rams coach Jeff Fisher cited the “extraordinary circumstances” surrounding tackle La’El Collins as the reason why it was never an option for the team to use one of their nine picks on the highly regarded prospect.
According to Collins’s agents, that’s not exactly the case. Agent Mike McCartney said that he’s never been more anxious during a draft than he was in the seventh round this year as they waited to see if someone would take Collins despite the threat to sit out the 2015 season in hopes of re-entering the draft the next year.
