Landon Collins builds case as one of NFL’s best safeties

The New York Giants (4-3) defeated the Los Angeles Rams (3-4) 17-10 at Twickenham Stadium in England, Sunday, and they did it on the strength of their defense. That defense was powered by sophomore safety Landon Collins.

Next to CB Janoris Jenkins, Collins has made a case as the Giants’ best defender in 2016. It’s a far cry from the narrative that had developed around him to start the season as a liability in open-field coverage.

While he’s still no cover-first safety, Collins has been a consistent play-making force for Big Blue.
