The New York Giants have found a gem of a strong safety in 23-year-old phenom Landon Collins. A year after his rookie campaign left a sour taste in the mouths of Giants fans around the New York-New Jersey area, his second season inspired immeasurable faith.
As Collins prepares for a third NFL season that will define the trajectory of his career, his focus has shifted to cutting his weight and improving his speed.
Collins cut a significant amount of weight from his frame between the 2015 and 2016 seasons. It resulted in what was one of the greatest seasons ever recorded by an NFL safety, let alone a Giants defender.
