Damn this is insane. This has to be one of the craziest stories I ever heard or seen for your channel bro, probably close to my top 10 craziest and insane stories of all time
Living in Dallas I remember this vividly. Jerry and the nfl did their own investigation and agreed he was innocent and that’s when Jerry signed him. But he never was able to shake the albatross of that incident and his career suffered for it. Tragic story all around
What are you talking about? There was no albatross, once he was cleared of any involvement it wasn’t mentioned again here in Dallas and both the Cowboys and Cincy gave him nice contracts. The negativity he carried was getting suspended over PED testing and the lingering back issues FlemLo mentioned in the vid
@@kabob21 I somewhat agree with you, but the truth is it WAS brought up a lot, and if you don’t think he was mentally stunted by that whole incident, which in turn affected his growth as a player you’re lying to yourself. He never developed into the player his potential indicated which is why he’s no longer a cowboy and may be out of cincy soon. You might not like my comment, but that doesn’t make it less true
He's the best kind, he's a weaver. He navigates you multiple narrative threads while simultaneously showing you a tapisty spaning the space and time of the overall story. Man's a craftsman. An Artisan.
RIP Mills. Between this and the whole Laremy Tunsil situation in 2016, the mid-2010s NFL Drafts were crazy. Glad Collins still carved out a solid career, and that Tunsil played well enough to get a fat contract of his own.
Brother FlemLo, listening to you narrate a story reminds me of when my grandfather used to read to my late brother and I as kids. You have a very creative gift. Keep doing what you're doing, young brother. Peace and blessings to you and everyone on this channel.
Living in Louisiana and an LSU fan we watched this play out in real time and it was sad and disheartening to watch what happened to this young man. As much as I am not a fan of Jerry, I’m happy he gave him a chance.
RIP, Brittany Mills. In my 20s, I learned that whoever you allow into your life can change the whole trajectory of your life, good or bad. I will leave it at that.
RIP to Ms. Mills and her son, I pray her daughter is doing well. Mr. Collins seems like a real stand up dude and I am happy things worked out well for the brotha. As usual great work F.R. , I have been a huge fan since the Last Chance U days.
Flem I have been a fan and sub for 9-10 years I started watching at 13 and I’m 22 now it went from me loving your NCAA series to me loving your sports documentaries as a young adult the fact that every video I can walk away with a life lesson I appreciate your work and I pray god watch over you💯
FlemLo. I’m a lady who enjoys sport and really love your content. Whatever you do; please don’t go AI. You have a nice voice and you deliver the stories well. You’ve got me through a lot of cleaning and folding clothes days. Keep up the good work. 😊
What’s dope about you bro, is we can feel how much you genuinely care and feel for these athletes when they go through tough situations!!! It’s fire and what personally brings me back to your channel!!! You have a gift of making them seem human
A 29 year old expecting mother of two gets killed and they suspect the 21 year old first round NFL prospect of doing it? Sounds like bad police work to me. The daughter even said that her mom had a lot of “boyfriends”. I have to imagine they all had more motive to do it than La’el. Word to any up and coming players, stay out of the mix. If you have league dreams, stay away from anyone that doesn’t align with those dreams.
RIP. The best thing about Flem is so many players you see and go oh yeah I know that player then watch realizing oh man I had NO CLUE and Flem is such a REAL person. You can see how the story hurts his heart. The BEST dude on RUclips
Brother Flemlo,you never cease to amaze me with your in depth reporting. You've done some great stories before,but this one had me on the edge of my seat. Well told. If this was on mainstream,this is probably Emmy material. If there are any social media awards,you should get one. Or two.Peace
Everyone share this man’s videos there is no way in hell this man still does not have over a million subs! Best sports story teller in the game! Not having over 1 million subs is criminal!
You do an awesome job telling people's stories the way they should be, from a human standpoint. A lot of media tells stories from a sensationalism view not with no, "2 sides to every story" thought process. Being around athletes from all sports a good portion of my life rarely are the true facts brought to light because it would show a story as, "Gray" and not black and white so to speak. Knowing personally some of the people you've highlighted it is truly appreciated.
This is how good Flemlo is: He wasn't showing up on my "recommended" list, and I wondered... what's he up to? Didn't care what it was, I wanted to know Flemlo's latest. You never disappoint. Fantastic story.
Always enjoy your content and expressing the bigger picture than a ball. It's easy to forget about the humanity involved when one is concerned about fantasy points and merchandise. Thanks.
What makes absolutely zero sense to me is that not one team drafted him in the 7th round!!! Many times a 7th rounder doesn't even make the team so you could have drafted a top 15 player in the 7th round and if he went to jail the team wouldn't lose much. I think this shows how many teams don't know what they're doing....!
@@theothesirNobody slandered his name, Gangstalicious. His name got brought up by the 8-yr-old daughter during questioning, Collins volunteered to come in for questioning, police did their jobs investigating and never once named him as a suspect.
Great and crazy story,but where's the closure? It's great, it's good. He is still playing and getting his, but what about her and her family? And the baby's family, his dad, the biological one. We need an update on this, please. Keep up the great work, Flemloo
This is an insane story. I’m glad his career has worked out because this is a really unfortunate situation for him. I also feel awful for the victims family that law enforcement hasn’t ever been able to find out who actually did this.
I feel terrible for these dudes that have falsely accused or the media portraying them as guilty. I’ve seen first hand what a false allegation can do to a person. Congrats to him and everyone that’s survived a situation like this.
I heard this story before from a different RUclips channel, and it still breaks my heart to know Collins went through all this simply cause his name was implicated. In a way, I do think the Cowboys got lucky with giving Collins a chance, cause realistically, they would not have gotten him at the 27th spot, which was where they picked in 2015 (ended up with DB Byron Jones). Collins was a part of that rebuilt "Great Wall of Dallas" that helped propel Ezekiel Elliott to stardom. That being said, I offer my condolences to the Mills family for their loss, and I certainly hope justice can eventually be served on the culprit responsible for a tragic loss of a young life.
My condolences goes out to the family and friends of the victim. I remember this story and it is extremely unfortunate that Apple wouldn't help law enforcement officials with this request years ago.
Aye Flem talk about that Sacramento Kings g league player who caught a body with his gf! You the only person I trust to give this story the care it deserves!
Crazy off subject, and I know he's not finished yet, but id love to see what you think about the Zack Wilson saga that is unfolding? Do you think he ends up in the ufl even? Awesome content bro 😎 been a huge fan for years now
Reminds me of Shawn Oakman, although at least Collins got his shot in the league (albeit undrafted after his agent did his job and made sure he was undrafted)
@@yoeltedros8654 saying that "Low-key did him a favor" would imply that it was a blessing in disguise. Dude didn't get the money, or the rings. Definitely a blessing to play in the league, but that's not what we're talking about. Relative to lottery pick money, this is coming up short.
I read the indictment after the news came initially. He was charged with murder along 8-9 other people. The more you read the less and less the case makes sense. I hope he can get some good press and make a return to pro football.
Rest In Peace 🕊 I have a younger sister just a few years older than this woman . She is popular and well liked . Somebody hurting a pregnant woman who knew her is the worse 😢
It was disgusting the NFL didn't grant him an exemption and let him declare for the supplemental draft. Even at the time it was best for him and the NFL.
Being from Nola and lsu being my Alma matter I remember this and how sad it all was and Jerry jones paid him over a million or whatever it was like being a first round pick
It does suck that solving some crimes take a long time ,and I'm go unsolved entirely, but I for one am not ready nor will I ever be ready to trade my rights, or my privacy for security. Security, that is an illusion, anyways.
This is in no way or diss or meant to be disrespectful to Collins or Mills, but fellas we really have to be mindful of the company we keep. There is no way Collins, a 1st rd draft prospect should have been fucking with a 29 year old woman and that had multiple boyfriends to the point where she didnt know who the baby father was. She was letting all kinds of dudes hit raw including Collins. And judging from the story, most of those dudes weren't great ppl as one of them pulled up on her and asked her to borrow her car and eventually murdered her. I say this as someone that almost got caught up in some shit with a loose woman, leave these kind of women alone. Especially if you have alot to lose and a bright future ahead of you. RIP her though...
@@logicalmalethink4925 trying to have a little respect for the dead lol. But yea that chick was a jump off. No reason he should be messing with a 304 who keeps dangerous company. He probably knows the dude that actually killed her, just not exactly who did it...
Apple is friggin Garbage for not unlocking the damn phone, time is Very important in those situations and they could've helped a killer stay free enabling them to do it again. Since it was just over borrowing a fuckin car you know that person has no value for human life outside of their own 🤦♂️
Amazing that a young 21-yo future NFL player would mess w/a 29-yo woman who only dated deadbeat dads before that. Why not date a good college girl? La'el is so much better than any "man" she dated prior.
Yea they messed over my lil potna I did time with his dad ‘Big Dave’ in ‘Allen Correctional’ and ‘Hunts’ I watched him grow up🤦🏽♂️ I hate that happened to him
Man, I am so glad you did this story. I had this all fucked up. This is some bullshit Bless this guy and his family I don’t give a shit how much money he made I don’t care if they billionaires now You destroyed this man’s dream you can’t even give him money back for that None of these motherfuckers were at those practices those workouts

He’s still had a pretty good career, most NFL players have a career span of 3 years
Bro you’re such a good story teller.
He really is isn't he lol
He's the best kind, he's a weaver. He navigates you multiple narrative threads while simultaneously showing you a tapisty spaning the space and time of the overall story.
Man's a craftsman. An Artisan.
The fact that he doesn’t have millions of subs is criminal! We need to share his stories on our channel and help him reach the levels he deserves!
Wow

Excellent observation! I never noticed how crazy the drafts were in the 2010s, and especially closer to the middle. Totally accurate

Amen
They never suspected him. He was questioned to get information
💯
Looks like that department wanted to attach themselves to this man for publicity and coverage.
You didn’t watch the video did you? 🙄
Man, the way you put things into perspective is top notch. Im glad La'el made his bag. RIP Brittany.
FlemLo the goat
RIP. The best thing about Flem is so many players you see and go oh yeah I know that player then watch realizing oh man I had NO CLUE and Flem is such a REAL person. You can see how the story hurts his heart. The BEST dude on RUclips
You hands down one of the best g! Stay true to what you doing and keep working at your own pace. Every video is well thought out and produced.
Love the content and your efforts in your research to provide the full story! Looking forward for upcoming content!!!

A milli by weezy shoukd b a one time thing after que the wayne when u hit 1 million subs
I've been waiting for you to do this story, felt terrible for him when it happened but then he went to the cowboys lost all sympathy
This is how good Flemlo is: He wasn't showing up on my "recommended" list, and I wondered... what's he up to? Didn't care what it was, I wanted to know Flemlo's latest. You never disappoint. Fantastic story.
Her daughter said she had several BOYFRIENDS. Praying for daughter, she is suffering the most
😂😂😂 it hit different when Flem say alot of bread but nowhere near what he was post to get….I felt that!!!
Always enjoy your content and expressing the bigger picture than a ball. It's easy to forget about the humanity involved when one is concerned about fantasy points and merchandise. Thanks.

But the timing was really bad .guess didn't have enough time to investigate
Excellent journalism.
Flemlo the goat of stories you can’t believe ❤
Great video man love your work❤
You one of my favorite RUclipsrs
Dude is mentally strong because I would probably went crazy.
Facts.
Mfers slandering your name, you find out a kid ain't yours and you almost do football numbers on the inside???
Man listen.

A bit embarrassed I missed that signing, but a good one, Go Bills!!! Of course another solid video too...
Good job bro, you did 'em both proud. This is peak S.I. article-type stuff.
Great and crazy story,but where's the closure?
It's great, it's good. He is still playing and getting his, but what about her and her family? And the baby's family, his dad, the biological one.
We need an update on this, please. Keep up the great work, Flemloo
Great video bro you the best
Great story from the information you shared sounds like this young man is innocent
I THOUGHT IN AMERICA "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY" 😢
RUMORS AND INUENDOS CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!😢
Great Job! I am from La. Never heard about this story. He sent one of his friends over that she new and they killed her.
I remember this. I wanted the Buccaneers to draft him in the 6th or 7th round.
Excellent work 👏🏾
This video was so hard to watch 😭😭. RIP in Brittany
This is an insane story. I’m glad his career has worked out because this is a really unfortunate situation for him. I also feel awful for the victims family that law enforcement hasn’t ever been able to find out who actually did this.
crazy ass story.. always been curious what were the other teams he considered instead of Dallas
I feel terrible for these dudes that have falsely accused or the media portraying them as guilty. I’ve seen first hand what a false allegation can do to a person. Congrats to him and everyone that’s survived a situation like this.
I vividly remember wondering why this dude wasn’t drafted and never knew the story. Was a 5 star outta H.S. and nasty at LSU.
Just wanted some Flemlo content in the LSU and Cowboys offseason. Bc I’m a Texas Tiger… La’el was - and is - such a good guy.
Great video but where is the part 2 of the Vince young story?
I heard this story before from a different RUclips channel, and it still breaks my heart to know Collins went through all this simply cause his name was implicated. In a way, I do think the Cowboys got lucky with giving Collins a chance, cause realistically, they would not have gotten him at the 27th spot, which was where they picked in 2015 (ended up with DB Byron Jones).

Brooo as an LSU fan I always wondered what happened with this situation.
This was just a wild story hopefully they bring her family justice
Man I’m from BR, I remember when this happened in real time. I felt for all involved.
My condolences goes out to the family and friends of the victim. I remember this story and it is extremely unfortunate that Apple wouldn't help law enforcement officials with this request years ago.
Apple W
I feel like this was a Hillar Moore / Jerry Jones conspiracy.
After the draft, shit went away.
Dude probably lost his sanity after that.
RIP to Brittany! I remember hearing about this after Collins went undrafted.

That was really crazy. Low key did collins a favor. Slid right into the dallas front that he other wise never would have fallen to.
Still no rings over there though. Doesn't sound like much of a favor to me. Lol

A favor he lost out on probably another 80 million damaged his reputation and ruined his draft dreams
Thank God that brother made it sad they still haven’t solved her murder
Yo flem there’s a typo in your title! Great vid!
appreciate u bro
Dam bro.. good Stuff.. he definitely deserved this video for being class act.. his blessing will come
You should do a video on Tamorrion Terry, same thing happened but he didn’t get his career back.
Terry is playing Arena Football now. Seems like his case and charges just disappeared. I am a lifelong FSU fan, and I follow all Noles news.
I read the indictment after the news came initially. He was charged with murder along 8-9 other people. The more you read the less and less the case makes sense. I hope he can get some good press and make a return to pro football.
Is this your 1st time hearing this story
Terry is playing arena ball in jacksonville now
Ole Scary Terry

Bro do “Dave Meggett” his life is a full on movie. He was loosely considered the inspiration for Nelly’s character in the longest yard
Glad to see he was able to build a career. BRIAN Banks didn't become as lucky😢
Can you do story of Jovan Belcher
All the damned surveillance has gotten to the point that there is no such thing as privacy and that's sad s helll

It was disgusting the NFL didn't grant him an exemption and let him declare for the supplemental draft. Even at the time it was best for him and the NFL.
I never knew La’el wasn’t a suspect. The NFL did so good Kaepernicking him I didn’t even realize who the guy even was until AFTER he was a Cowboy.
A small note from this whole story: a lie detector test is wild considering how faulty and unreliable they are 😅
RIP Brittany Mills
You ever took one
Being from Nola and lsu being my Alma matter I remember this and how sad it all was and Jerry jones paid him over a million or whatever it was like being a first round pick
My thought right off the bat. Did she tell anyone else they might be the father?
RIP Mills Apple privacy laws: we won't help catch a murderer but we will sell your info to anyone paying
Im glad it at least had a semi hopeful ending, the entire time I was waiting for you to say the agents gamble failed and he didn't make the league
The devil tried to stop him but just like his name says, GODS CHILD all Glory to God ✝️
It does suck that solving some crimes take a long time ,and I'm go unsolved entirely, but I for one am not ready nor will I ever be ready to trade my rights, or my privacy for security. Security, that is an illusion, anyways.

Where’s the Vince young video man…..
Hey Flem what ever happened to Everette Golson 🤔
All the NFL teams dodged a wasted 1st RD pick on this one. Sucks what he went through, but dude is no 1st rounder. Or 2nd rounder, or 3rd rounder.
ya kinda worked out
Damn I didn’t know becton was worth that many picks 😅😂

Bro your soul is special
What a story

They (BRPD) could’ve waited until after the draft
Man, I am so glad you did this story. I had this all fucked up.

I don’t care if they billionaires now
