Landon Collins Helping Giants Prepare Against Old Commanders Team
In each of the past eight years, defensive back Landon Collins has been apart of the New York Giants vs. Washington rivalry.
From 2015-18, he played at least one game between the two division rivals for the Giants. Then, in 2019-21, he played at least one game for Washington. But in 2022, he'll be playing a different role.
“I took this game more seriously,” Collins told the New York Post of his time in Washington. “Being here before, it felt like I had something to prove when I was playing against the Giants. I’ve got no hard feelings against Washington.”
Collins also shared his thoughts on Washington's recent success, winning six of the last seven games.
“I knew Washington had it, even when I was there,” Collins said. “It was just little things we had to fix. They had a bad start [1-4] and look at them now. Same thing over here: We have little compartments we need to fix, but we are finishing out those hard games and winning.”
After the Washington Commanders cut Collins earlier this offseason, he rejoined the team that drafted him on the practice squad. Collins has only been activated from the Giants practice squad twice this season, playing exclusively on special teams. He may not have an on-field role for Sunday, but his impact will be felt.
The Commanders and Giants kick off at 1 p.m. Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
