I dated a girl that was an Athletic trainer for ole miss football team & knew for a fact right before Laremy Tunsil got drafted one of the staffers leaked the gas mask photo. Dirty game.

Bro I found this show 2 months ago and ain’t stopped watch every since. Whoever run this page tell me where I can get a Bates jersey. He’s too real and I respect him too much

When I played college football, I decided to transfer and leave my school, my head coach told the media he kicked me out . Now every coach after that had doubts

This has been an issue forever. Imagine how many players didn't make it out didn't get real chance because of coaches or admins personal beliefs

Great Thing they got Les up outa there bc as a Recruit, this would keep me from going out to LSU.. fr fr

This makes me sad then it pissed me off as an lsu fan. JC was a great Tiger. Crazy how long Les fooled people

I get mad every time I see this, I never played at that level but went through this my whole life

The more I watch of Darren Bates the more I like the dude

I had a similar issue coming out of a juco. the coach told me in person with no witnesses he was going to essentially going to sabotage me to a school that was going to bring me and my family in on an official visit. after our conversation where he told me that they didn’t return a single phone call. He thought I faked a wrist injury that turned out to be broken the whole season (I was a starting olineman). He also lied to me about allowing me to change my position told me that I couldn’t when it was too late to transfer at the beginning of camp and honestly there’s so much more examples with that guy…. It’s a dirty world out there, but you can’t let something like that stop you from being successful.

Its crazy because a gm or coach might be able to accept that from a kid coming out of college but when its a headline teams have to take into account how the fans and their peers will receive it. Thats messed up. You would think if anything coaches want to maximize on producing pro players out of their system. Thats why i respect coach cal at kentucky because win or lose he has the best interest of the player and there dreams

this is more of a reason why im glad the NIL is out

LES was feeling butt 🤕 that he didn't stay another season. That's just pathetic! He should've been proud & happy for the young man, pursuing his NFL DREAMS. What a hater. I'm glad you brought this to everyone's attention. It's just SAD. SAD,SAD, 😭. Now everyone can finally see the kind of person LES MILES really is. Safe to say the same players that played for him, feel somewhat differently about him, after hearing this. Sounds like he never truly cared about his players in the same way he portrayed himself. Thank GOD, FOR BRIAN KELLY. A good coach, but more importantly, a good person. HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT, TO ONE OF HIS PLAYERS. GOOD LUCK with all future endeavors, JALEN. YOU ALWYS WERE & ALWAYS WILL BE A GREAT LSU TIGER! I DON'T CARE WHAT THAT FRAUD OF A HEAD COACH HAS TO SAY ABOUT YOU.

He was already there for 4 years. How long was he supposed to stay in college ?

That is disgusting they went to tht degree to degrade bro character

I'm an LSU fan and I Hated the way Les mistreated and threw players under the bus on a constant basis

Don't put it past and NFL team slipping ESPN a few grand here and there to run these type of stories. The point is to scare other NFL teams. When that happens Jalen's value decreases. It's a good investment from the NFL's perspective. The article was so unethical ESPN did not have the balls to even publish the reporters name. When this gest published with no reporter taking responsibility the entire article is suspect and is obviously designed as a hit piece. It wouldn't surprise me if ESPN's "sources" are just made up.

These coaches and administrators are really dirty for these tactics. Why block the blessing of a player that worked their butts off for the program? And this is before the NILs

Did you see boosie and webbie our there. I almost went to LSU. But lost my scholarship almost played JaMarcus Russell

Same thing Pete Carroll did to Taylor Mays

Coach was mad that one his slaves escaped before he could get a full 5 years out of him.

bro smoked a joint and got cruicfied now max crosby smoking a wood on national tv LMFAOOO crazy af

I can tell this hurt Collins till this day i’d be hurt too

Lol I gotta hear Darren story on why he don’t fw gene 😂

“You ain’t murder no body” Ray Lewis did and he was still drafted first round 😅

He moved against the king. There has to be a response Les others get the same idea

That was the Bama machine, I guarantee it.

People defending les miles how do y’all feel now 🤥

It’s crazy to think of his draft stock didn’t drop he could of went to a team that could made him all pro and would of had more money

You can tell jalen really was close with Miles. And him saying that really hurt Jalen

This why he don't have a job now

Happened to me in high school smh coaches bad mouth players all the time smh

“If I come to you as a man”, while texting him lol

Naw it got leaked bc a lot of players fail drug test in college and it never comes out

I like how hes mad at a school even though he failed a test that he didn’t need to study for…. 😂

If Collins can still run and stay in shape there still might be a nfl contract him for if he takes a comeback serious u never know

You can tell this still bothers him

Young men up and coming learn from this brother glaring mistakes. Take ownership of your choices and outcomes.

He was still a 2nd round pick and didn't last more than two years

Jalen Collins got drafted in the 2nd round... He was a top selection even though people (who know nothing about the topic) think that anything after the first round is some sort of sloppy seconds type of pick. He played for a Superbowl level Falcons team and had every chance to prove himself. He had a typical NFL career... keep in mind the average NFL career is something less than 5 years, but I'm not sure of the exact stat. He got picked up by other teams too and had a chance for a fresh start if he felt like he needed one. That being explained... wtf is he talking about. Is he suggesting his draft stock was hurt by Les Miles or that he had something to do with his NFL performance/career? Obviously, JC wasn't a first-round caliber player and plenty would argue he wasn't a second-round level player either. He got drafter in a higher spot than he should have and his stats show that. I realize that you want to be a first-rounder no matter what you're capable of given that it means more money up front, but he should not be bitter at all. Props to him though, seriously... anyone that gets drafted and then makes an NFL team and then makes it back after their rookie year is a stud. People truly don't comprehend how tough it is to make it in the NFL even as a backup or whatever besides a starter. You have to defy serious odds to have a career like Collins did.

But was Les wrong tho? Guy def was not mature enough for the league at that time.

Protect yourself by staying out of drama.. play football and keep a low profile

I don’t know how much/what JC smokes, but weed & Ray Rice are false equivalencies, my boy.

Jalen you gotta have this fool deposed and find out how exactly it was "costly"...? That's messed up.

That’s fucked up man!!!

Les was only thinking bout his legacy, lotta people out here on that, unbeknownst to us ya own family or friends will get you

Miles needs Jesus

That’s an odd ass text message though.

Dirty

Well what's come out since about Ole' grass eater, this isn't a surprise ......cost this man some millions ........shame

GO TO HBCU BLACK TALENTS

When Les Miles forced him to smoke all that weed?

This guy smoked grass Les Miles are grass One is suspect and the other is normal

So explain why he failed 4 drug test in 4 seasons in the NFL. Was that Les Miles doing too? Btw NFL teams know anything and everything, they knew about his failed drug test at LSU anyways.

Who is dude

Jalen Collins Wasnt Good Tho As A LSU Fan He Jus Wasnt It

Accountability J. Collins your mistake, but Coach Myles n other Coaches jack up period.

Whatever whatever

Man trick that jack thar ass next time you see him.

So, basically, you expected Miles to lie to NFL scouts in hopes that teams would waste more money on you than you were worth. Lol. Because you went on to the NFL and were suspended four times because of drugs. You had the opportunity to get another contract after the rookie deal but failed due to PED and drug use. That sucks, but it was your choice. Not Les Miles sabotage.

You didn't respect the process once you get to the NFL it's on you regardless of what someone allegedly does

You say you went up to him like a man but this is all in text. I’d be upset too if someone dropped big news on me through a text. Goes to show you didn’t respect him enough to sit with him face to face and tell him that

Lol... Les told the truth, can't make his word bad on your behalf when that samw word can help someone who actually deserves it... also after you made it to the league... did Les cause your failures??

Les Miles have no personality

Young man you don't know how the real world works. If you work for anybody then leave to pursue another opportunity. They always contact your past affiliations to find out what kind of person they are getting in you. Do you think that Les Miles was supposed to lie for you when asked about your pros and cons. You made those decisions knowing that you had dreams of playing in the NFL one day. He had an obligation not just to you, but also to the other guys coming after you to be truthful and honest. Then you get drafted anyway after being a risk, then you turn around and get suspended multiple times in the NFL. Sorry to tell you but that screams unreliability, and shows that you haven't changed your bad habits. You are an adult now and all of your actions has consequences. After College you had run out of room to make any more mistakes, you are your worst enemy. Stop blaming Les Miles and go find a mirror if you want to know who is at fault.

Sounds like the dude tanked his own stock by getting popped for weed multiple times. Hell yes, they are gonna talk to your head coach and he’s gonna be honest. There are other dudes in that program that have dreams too. If he burns one NFL coach, there are other futures and his reputation at stake. This dude needs to take ownership of his own failures. Didn’t he get popped in the NFL too?

Man this dude here need to stop. So the school is at fault because he failed drug test. This is straight moronic. During that time the NFL hadn't revamp there drug program. Maybe coach Miles knew he that drugs was an issue for him. Didn't he get suspended from the Falcons for the very reason. Jalen got to grow up and own his stuff.

Les Miles is a garbage coach. there are many stories like this

Former star🤣🤣🤣🤣

Black people really need to take accountability for your actions You smoked bro ? How you smoke and get mad at you’re coach cause he told the truth about you, that’s like me getting fired from a job for stealing and then getting mad at my old job for telling my new job that I stole .. You failed drug test dude , urban Meyer did the same thing with Aaron Hernandez , he told the patriots before they drafted him that he smokes a lot and he’s need some help and the patriots took the chance . I since someone’s bitter

Jalen is a terrible story teller

Communication breakdown due to age. You sent a text to communicate some important information. Thats normal to you and your peers. Miles is older, things may be done differently. He probably had expectations of how that conversation would go, had a whole spew on why you should stay. He didn't get that opportunity by text. He probably took the method of communication as disrespect. Thus tryna hurt your prospects.

This ain’t it lol you went to the nfl and still failed drug test fam i don’t like what les said in those text messages but maybe this should’ve motivated you to be better

I mean you failed a drug test not for weed but for PEDs what do you expect it’s a business brother

Stop saying ninja on here idc personally but it could be holding y’all back

This dude making excuses , how bout you pass the drug test instead !!

So you smoked and got popped, but it's someone else's fault. Then who's fault was it when you got suspended in the NFL? :D

Jalen Collins failed multiple drug tests in college. Where's the lie? Jalen failed multiple drug tests in the NFL. Where's the lie?

Is Les Miles the reason you kept failing drug tests in the NFL? Is Miles the reason you got booted from the XFL? Your Daddy should have taught you to own your mistakes.

This story ain’t adding up

Les miles never was a good coach. Won that national championship with nick saban's players. And once they left that's when lsu started to go down hill. Miles hasn't done anything before nor after he won that championship with saban's players. FACTS.
