FYI...
As he should.

👍👏🏼
well deserved indeed  
Les in TO : 10/26/2016 9:40 am : link
his epic touchdown return was a thing of beauty and he made a number of big tackles demonstrating elite closing speed.
Awesome  
Joeguido : 10/26/2016 9:40 am : link
job by our strong safety. He has impressed me in his natural role. Congrats
Deserving.

Gotta love the 9:30 a.m. time slot.
For a talentless team we've won a few of these, eh?

a couple of days ago. Collins if playing on an All Pro level and he is definitely top two defensive player on this roster. I'm definitely glad Terry moved up to get this guy.

Collins, Janoris Jenkins, and Justin Pugh are all playing at an all-pro level thus far.
Nice

Excellent!

I was fortunate enough to be in London for the game and it was amazing to see the interception and TD in person and screaming "Oh my God! Oh my God! Go! Go! Go!" over and over again! I've re-watched the play several times since then and it doesn't get old. The version in German was great, too.
from a fan's POV  
djm : 10/26/2016 10:22 am : link
you don't appreciate having a guy like Collins on your team until he's actually on your team. That athletic big guy that kills offensive players, legally. So great to watch.
He deserved it  
Matt M. : 10/26/2016 10:24 am : link
He is, by far, the best player on this team right now. He is showing us the player many here thought he was when drafted. He is finally playing the SS position he was drafted to play. Having him play FS last year was probably a waste.

These guys won't get their deserved recognition unless the Giants win some more games.
Collins

will be even better when Darian Thompson gets back and gets more experience.

Collins/Jenkins might if the make enough highlight reel plays (sacks/INTs).

Most OL don't get the recognition they deserved and the few that do often get recognition even if their play drops off. That said, Pugh won't get any unless they start running the ball much better.
Well deserved  
Jay in Toronto : 10/26/2016 11:16 am : link
he is a beast with the action in front of him
First of many...  
Chris684 : 10/26/2016 11:19 am : link
And maybe on to bigger and better thing like NFL DPOY, he's that kind of talent.
Yes looked good, great even  
Sec 103 : 10/26/2016 11:43 am : link
but let's not put him in Canton just yet...
Congratulations to our beloved safety Landon Collins  
Frank from CA : 10/26/2016 11:43 am : link
He showed a ton of desire on his pick 6. That of course was not the only thing great he did in that game. Like Matt M stated he is performing as his draft hype projected. Kudos to him for working hard and converting his potential to a bona fide reality.
And there wasn't a second place.  
Beezer : 10/26/2016 11:46 am : link


If there ever has been a slam dunk for one of these "player of the whatever" awards, he is it.

No one has?

Watching him I was thinking it's great to see a first round pick PLAYING like a first round pick. He's becoming a difference maker!

I agree with the rest of your post but the first sentence is wrong. OBJ is by far the best player on the team now, yesterday or tomorrow.
I won't comment

until Annunaki, or Analnookie, or whatever his name is chimes in...
Pro Bowl level yes. All Pro level not yet  
Ivan15 : 10/26/2016 12:32 pm : link
Need to perform at a high level for several years AND show up in some playoff games before gaining All Pro recognition.
Well deserved. It was an easy selection this week.  
ZogZerg : 10/26/2016 12:34 pm : link

Will be a key player vs Philadelphia  
Overseer : 10/26/2016 12:41 pm : link
Wentz came back to Earth rather fast after experiencing some pressure and disguised secondary coverage. L Collins should be blitzing (and at times backing off into coverage while showing blitz) early and often.

Another thing I love about Collins is the same thing I loved about Antrel Rolle and, of course, Eli Manning. There are 16s next his "games started" stat.

Give him a center fielder and the secondary takes another jump after already looking great. We miss you K Phillips.

we got two DPOW awards between Landon and Janoris this year, right?

he's clearly playing at a Pro-Bowl level this year too!
Let's get those friggin' Free Safeties healthy and go help

this guy out.

Collins has been a breath of fresh air...a player making plays.
Nice  
rocco8112 : 10/26/2016 2:27 pm : link
well deserved, this guy looks like a foundation type player to build a D around.

Fun to watch and he brings the lumber.
That's awesome!  
gmen4ever : 10/26/2016 2:35 pm : link
Can't wait for our entire secondary to be on the Field so Collins can play to his strengths!!
He certainly has  
Beer Man : 10/26/2016 3:22 pm : link
taken a giant step forward this season (no pun intended). Hopefully, he doesn't fall victim to the injury bug that too many young promising DBs have contracted.

He isn't a first round pick.
He's coming into his own...

with experience and how the Giants are learning to utilize his talents best.

You could see this from the start of the season.

He has been the Giants Defensive MVP -

One of the best players on the team already.
Dynamic TD return plusphysical tackles all over the field...

I was in London and just re-watched on DVR.
