Last year as a member of the New York Giants, Landon Collins wasn’t permitted to hit running back Saquon Barkley. Now that the safety combined division rival Washington Redskins, he’s free to crush away.
„I’ve been ready to tackle Saquon,“ Collins said over the weekend in his charity softball event, via Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com. „That’s my guy, however. All love to him and he has been doing his thing as we all know. But when I get to meet him at the pit this time, it’s likely to be full-go.“

One reason the Giants let this offseason walks was the plot fit that is suspicious. Now the 25-year-old has the chance to verify that decision wrong, first by stuffing Barkley in the hole .
