From one safety to another, Deon Grant loves what he sees from Landon Collins, the Giants’ second-year defender who is having a breakout season with four interceptions.

“He’s looking good. He’s looking like an All-Pro safety right now,” said Grant, a member of the Giants’ 2011 Super Bowl championship team.

Grant, who frequently visits with his former team and speaks regularly to Collins, said he is impressed by the second-year safety’s grasp of the defense.

“I think the main thing was, and it’s natural, because all of us go through it, he was trying to make every play instead of just going full speed and taking care of his job,” Grant said.
