VIDEO: Landon Collins Picks off Colt McCoy in Redskins Training Camp and Take it to the House
By Michael Luciano
The Giants offseason has been so bad between trading away their best player for pennies on the dollar and reaching for a quarterback at No. 6 that it's easy to forget that they let one of the best young defensive backs in football walk out the door for next to nothing. Brand new Washington Redskins safety Landon Collins is showing his worth already in the nation's capital, picking off a Colt McCoy pass and galloping all the way back to the end zone.

A three-time Pro Bowler and one-time All-Pro selection in four seasons, Collins was so productive last year he picked up 96 tackles in only 12 games as a defensive back. With his physicality an ball skills, he looks like a home run signing for the Redskins.
Whenever a new player joins the Redskins, a mortal hatred of the Giants is a necessity. Luckily for Washington fans, Collins is still heated about his last year in New York, and has even threatened to get a little more than physical if Dave Gettleman ever popped up near him.
Landon Collins on what he’d do if he saw Giants GM Dave Gettleman on the sidelines ?

Collins is motivated and out for blood in the NFC East this year, so expect nothing short of a career year.
