Ezekiel Elliott would love for his friend La'el Collins to join him in New England.

The running back in his first season with the Patriots told reporters the free-agent offensive tackle, released earlier this week by the Cincinnati Bengals, is one of his best friends, and added that "I'd love to see LC here" and "it'd be great to get him up here."

Elliott and Collins were Dallas Cowboys teammates from 2016 to 2021.

Jordan Schultz reported Thursday via Twitter that Collins has received interest from "nearly a dozen teams," and is scheduled to meet on Monday with a UCLA doctor.
