If you’re a big fan of American football, there’s a good chance you’ve come across Landon Collins, who currently plays for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). Known for his No. 21 jersey, Collins defends his team on the safety line. He has secured the position for the Giants since 2015 when he was selected by the team in the NFL Draft.
Before committing to his current team, the football player played with his high school team until graduation. His stint as the All-American defensive back for Dutchtown High School, Geismar, was very productive as he holds several impressive football records at the institution.
As many would agree, Landon’s football career is improving with each passing season. His ability on the field and overall performance is something his fans will always be grateful for and we’re pretty sure he has no plans to disappoint them now or in the future.
Landon Collins’ Biography
The New York Giant safety was referred to as Landon Alexander Collins after his birth on January 10, 1994 in New Orleans, Louisana. He is an American citizen and is of African American descent.
He grew up in the neighborhood of Algiers but later moved with his family to Geismar in the Ascension Church after Algiers was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He owes his schooling to Dutchtown High School, where he participated in the school’s running and soccer activities. At the time, Collins was an all-American defensive tackle in football.
Family – mom and brother
Landon Collins was born to AprilJustin (mother) and Thomas Collins (father). Thomas currently works as a station manager at Coastal Bridge Construction Company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while April resides in Florida.
The American security agency has two siblings – a brother named Gerald Willis and a sister named Gerrah Willis, who came from his mother’s marital relationship with a man named Gerald Willis.
Like his brother Collins, Gerald is a soccer player as well. He currently plays for the University of Miami, having previously played for the University of Florida. While at the University of Florida, Landon’s brother got into a lot of trouble and was eventually fired for multiple misconduct that included altercations with teammates. Born on August 23, 1995, the 1.93 meter footballer is a defender of Miami Hurricanes football.
April Justin’s relationship with his eldest son has remained strained to this day simply because Collins decided to play for Alabama University instead of Louisiana State University, which he believes is a better team than Alabama.
Collins’ mom would have missed his drawing in Chicago if not for Gerald convincing her by offering her a free spa session in town. The NFL star’s decision to host the Under Armor All-American game on live television remains a source of tension in his relationship with his mother to this day.
Is he dating who is his girlfriend?
Landon Collins isn’t married yet, but he is in a relationship with his college sweetheart, Victoria Lowery, who graduated from Alabama University in 2015. She got engaged to the soccer player in March 2016.
The athlete reportedly has three children, who came from his intimate relationships with three different women. One of them is identified simply as Rocsi. Sometime in March 2016, she took to Instagram to reveal how Collins was abandoning his children and baby moms, who she claimed gave birth to his babies around the same time period.
Body measurements: height and weight
The New Orleans celebrated footballer is 6ft 0in tall (1.83m equivalent) and has a body weight of 102kg or 225lbs. While Collins isn’t as tall as some of the NFL’s giants like Kyle Scoter, Barkevious Mingo, and Malik McDowell, his height has never hampered his career, nor has he been considered flawed because of his stature.
