Letting Landon Collins walk leaves a Giant void in more ways than one

Drafting an individual and watching them develop into a Pro Bowl player is what all owners wish for every spring. The New York Giants got all of that and more when they traded up in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft to select Landon Collins (33rd overall).

As a rookie, Collins started all 16 games and would lead the team in tackles with 112. He exceeded expectations as a rookie, but it was in his second season when Collins truly flourished.

In 2016, he would once again lead the team in tackles with a career-high 125, and also had a career high in interceptions (5) and sacks (4).
