Redskins sign Landon Collins 6 yr/84M

[FrenchSkin]

Cooley's film breakdown of Landon Collins

+

Can play everywhere, has played a lot of 2 deep safety, a bit of single high safety
Good range, good speed, good breaks, good angles
Good feel to cut routes and understand concepts when he plays deep
Instinctual consistent tackler
Good in man to man coverage against TEs and RBs
Disciplined and very intelligent player, doesn't bite into play action easily, reads blocking scheme very well, stays with his responsibility when the play breaks down
Rallies to the ball
Team captain at 24 years old => solid leader


-

Overruns coverage when he plays underneath zone, doesn't key QB eyes that well
Not a great blitzer
Can allow some separation in man coverage (but has good make up speed)
Sometimes misses outside-in tackles
A bit un-decisive in zone shifting and pattern matching, this is why he doesn't make a ton of picks



So, yeah, he's way more versatile than people have been saying, but excels as a box safety.
