Bills' La'el Collins 'Ready to Dominate!'
The Buffalo Bills signed offensive lineman La'el Collins earlier this offseason, and he's already bringing a fiery approach to Orchard Park as he gets set to block for Josh Allen.
"They brought me here to play football and I came here to dominate and I'm going to let everything else take care of itself," Collins said, via WGRZ's Jonathan Acosta. "I'm going to show up every day and go to work. Help the young guys, and do whatever they ask me."

Collins has started 86 of 89 career regular-season games and will now look to block for running back James Cook, who is coming off of a season that saw him post the first 1,000-yard
After the Dallas Cowboys released him in 2022, Collins then signed a three-year deal with the Bengals worth $21 million dollars. He started 15 games as a tackle in Cincinnati, but suffered a brutal torn ACL and MCL late in the season.
"That's a tough picture to put yourself in," Collins said of the injury. "To deal with an injury that's as traumatic as tearing your knee, it's something you can't really explain. I felt like last year, I maybe could've put myself in a position to play some football, but I knew mentally that the tank was empty."
Collins will begin his bounce-back season when the Bills kick off Week 1 at home against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 8.
