After going unselected in the 2015 NFL Draft, the former LSU offensive lineman could find an NFL home soon.

Due to his uncertain status related to a police investigation, former LSU offensive lineman La’el Collins wasn’t selected in the 2015 NFL Draft, even though he wasn’t considered a suspect. Now, Collins appears one step closer to fully clearing his name after passing an independent polygraph test, according to ESPN’s Josina Anderson.

Collins, a potential top-10 pick as recently as a week before the draft, was questioned by police about the shooting death of Brittney Mills, reportedly Collins’ ex-girlfriend. Mills was pregnant at the time of the shooting, and there were questions of whether Collins was the father. However, Anderson reports paternity tests came back negative.

Several NFL teams -- including the Bills, Dolphins and Buccaneers among others -- have shown interest in signing Collins once the legal situation is resolved.
