Watching NFL live and they were talking about DPOY candidates for next year. One guy mentioned Bosa another Donald and Tedy Bruschi talked about Collins. They also had 4 pictures in the background while having the discussion - Watt, Mack, Miller and our own Landon Collins. Nice company to be in. Hopefully we have something special with this guy.
LC is the kind of leader this team needs. There's also a nice article on him in Big Blue View.

He is a leader and an intimidating presence back there that every great defense needs.
Unleash him, especially if D. Thompson, Eli Apple really step up and become studs in their own right. The talent in the secondary has the potential to be the NFL's best. All contingent on first health and second development of the youth: Apple, Thompson, Okwara, Tomlinson, Adams, Goodson and even possibly M. Thompson (slot corner, backup corner & safety. This is going to be a fun camp.
But yeah, I was pissed watching what shouldve been a gimme INT catch
Part of that, though, involves two awesome runbacks of INTs. I hope that becomes a habit a la Ed Reed, but I think we need to see a little more to be sure. That said, I love the player.
As a rookie he was asked to play out of position and with some of the worst talent the giants put out in years.
Bringing in Snacks was genius. And I've given Reese as much shit as anyone here It all fell into place with him and Jenkins. With a full year and with 1o out of 11 guys returning this D should be amazing. Vernon got all the pub with that huge deal but Snacks and Jenkins allowed Collins to be the guy he was supposed to be when drafted.
You hope that the guy you draft, shows improvement in his second year......but his improvement over his rookie year was off the charts......

A ton of rookies get dramatically better after their first year. Just very few make a leap to all pro level by year 2.
