ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Former New York Giants safety Landon Collins managed to do something that is not easy when he was introduced by the Washington Redskins Thursday afternoon as their big free agent signing — he managed to make the franchise and its owner, Dan Snyder, seem human.
How? By connecting with the legacy of the late Sean Taylor, the beloved Redskins star safety.
“It’s very emotional to be at a place where my favorite player played, someplace I’ve always dreamed of, ready to put that Redskins uniform on,” Collins said, referring to Taylor as his childhood idol.
