WATCH: Cowboys OL La'el Collins shows off his WR skills
Move over, J.J. Watt. You may not be the only lineman catching touchdown passes in 2015. Dallas Cowboys rookie offensive lineman La'el Collins may have checked in at the NFL Combine at 305 pounds, but that doesn't mean he can't catch passes.
Collins posted a video to Instagram on Tuesday of him running a route--against a "defensive back"--and completing the catch. The defensive back, in this scenario, was teammate and fellow offensive lineman Laurence Gibson. You can take a look at the result of the play here:
Collins is set to enter training camp in direct competition at left guard with incumbent starter Ronald Leary. Although Collins began OTAs practicing at right tackle, in starter Doug Free's absence, he will ultimately find an easier path to playing time at left guard.
