The pursuit of offenisve tackle La’el Collins by the Cincinnati Bengals took some wild twists and turns over the last few days, culminating in the fans themselves getting involved at local stores and online.
No exaggeration there. On Saturday, Collins’ second day in town for a visit, he reportedly left the visit without a deal.
Except…he turned up at a local mall near the stadium and snapped some photos with fans.
He then apparently had another meeting with the team before actually leaving the “visit” and reportedly had sights on visiting with at least one other team before making a decision.
While all this was unfolding, to pass the time and ease some of the stress of the situation, Bengals fans took some of those photos of Collins at local places and photoshopped him all over town. It was funny, to say the least.
