Retired NFL Player Fatally Shot
Jalen Collins Suspended 4 Games For Violating League's PED Policy
JALEN COLLINS
Atlanta Falcons cornerback Jalen Collins has been sus- pended without pay for the first four games of the 2016 season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-en- hancing substances, the team announced Friday.
"We are disappointed to hear the news regarding Jalen today," Falcons coach Dan Quinn said in a prepared statement. "I have already spoken to Jalen about this, and I have no doubt this will be something that he will learn from."
The Falcons took a chance on Collins when they drafted him out of LSU in the second round last season. Collins ad- mitted failing multiple drug tests related to marijuana while in school.

Former New Orleans Saint defensive end Will Smith was shot and killed Sunday (April 10) following a road rage dis- pute.
After a traffic collision with a Hummer H2 in New Or- leans’s Lower Garden District, the 34-year-old NFL champ “exchanged words” with the driver of the Hummer, at which time he then produced a handgun and shot Smith sev- eral times. Smith’s wife was also shot twice and transported to a nearby hospital.
New Orleans police arrested 28-year-old Cardell Hayes after the shooting and charged him with second-degree mur-

Saints Head Coach Sean Payton took to Twitter to speak on the tragedy, calling Smith’s death “senseless.”
Russell Wilson, Seahawks Wide Receivers Work Out Together At USC
The Seattle Seahawks' offi- cial offseason program has not yet begun, but Russell Wil- son and a couple of the team's wide receivers are working out together at USC.
Lockett is coming off a tremendous rookie season in which he caught 51 balls for 664 yards and six touchdowns. He was also a weapon on spe- cial teams, scoring two more times -- once on a punt return and once on a kickoff return. The Seahawks play a lot of 11 personnel (one RB, one TE, three WRs), and even though Doug Baldwin and Jer-

maine Kearse project as starters, Lockett will be on the field plenty in his second season.
Richardson, meanwhile, has a more uncertain role. A second-round pick in 2014, he dealt with a hamstring injury last year and caught just one ball for 40 yards.

Navy's Keenan Reynolds Wants NFL Opportunity, No Matter The Position
Keenan Reynolds could find himself in any number of places this fall: stationed on a boat or a submarine, con- nected to a special warfare di- vision like the SEALs or attached to an aviation squadron.
Or at the headquarters of an NFL team.
The Navy quarterback is heading toward graduation and a service assignment as an information warfare officer. But if an NFL team drafts or
