New Orleans Saints fans voted LSU OT La'el Collins as the Louisiana NFL Draft prospect that they would be most excited about the team drafting in next April's NFL Draft in a poll on the team's website last week.

Collins earned 40 percent of the 1,003 votes in the poll. Along with Collins, LSU CB Jalen Collins (29%) and LSU RB Kenny Hilliard (10%) rounded out the top three.

Started all 13 games at left guard as a sophomore, then started 26 games at left tackle his junior and senior seasons.
