Giants' Landon Collins ready to welcome Jets' Sam Darnold to the NFL

Landon Collins decided to poke some fun at the expense of Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, as veteran football players tend to do to highly touted first-year players.

“He’s a rookie, we feast on rookies sometimes,” Collins said after Wednesday’s practice. “It’s always an exciting game. To see him play, he’s going to have a fantastic career once he gets it going, and … I know he’s going to do a great job at the Jets, but you’re playing against a good defense, and we’re going to have fun with it.”

The Giants safety said he expects to play the first three quarters against the Jets on Friday at 7:30 p.
