Landon Collins Dropped From the First Round of NFL Draft: The Day After-Article

[Marshal Dillon]

What the heck happened? Very disappointing for him.

CHICAGO — Landon Collins hadn’t felt this way since his first game as a freshman at Alabama.

Nerves had finally set in.

The sensation hit Thursday when he woke up at 8 a.m. Collins thought he’d surely be the No. 1 safety selected and no question taken in the first round.

By 10:30 p.m., the first round of the 2015 NFL draft had concluded and Collins fled the green room at the Auditorium Theater at Roosevelt University, making his way four blocks to his room at the Palmer House Hilton Hotel.

His name was never called.

And he didn’t want to talk.

He was supposed to be celebrating with friends and family after being drafted at a Chicago club called Underground.

Instead, it was an early night.

The Packers got good production from Ha-Ha, why wouldn't they want Collins to join his former teammate?

Every year somebody projected to go mid-late first round slips into the second.  I hate that it was Collins this year, but at least he ended up on a team that traditionally has good defenses.
