Landon Collins already giving back to the Richmond community
Landon Collins continues to participate in events to give back to the community. The latest event for the Redskins safety was a partnership with Subway to give back to the Richmond Food Bank.
Landon Collins has yet to play for the Washington Redskins after signing a huge free-agent deal with the squad. He hasn’t even suited up for training camp yet, which begins on Wednesday, July 24. But despite his relatively short tenure with the team, Collins is already trying to give back to the Washington and Virginia communities.
Recently, Collins partnered with Subway in Richmond, Va. to celebrate their launch of the King’s Hawaiian sandwich line and give back to the organization Feed More. In the event, which took place last Thursday, the participants packaged sandwiches to be donated to those in need at the Richmond Food Bank.
“Not many people have the opportunity to do the things that we’re doing,” Collins said to Riggo’s Rag in a phone interview. “It’s a great opportunity for me because my biggest thing is always giving back to the community as much as possible.”

Collins has given back to the community before, and he has hosted a celebrity softball game for the past three games involving players from his former team, the New York Giants. The event has been used to benefit at-risk adolescents and women and children over the course of the past three years.
And Collins understands the impact that star athletes can have on the community despite the fact that he views himself and his fellow athletes as “normal people.”
“They call us stars, (but) we’re just normal people,” Collins said. “At the same time, they see us as stars, they see us as something they wanna be in life and giving them the opportunity to meet that thing, (that’s) great.”
And as Collins reiterated, the reason that he decided to partner with Subway was to support and bring joy to the fans.

“At the end of the day, it’s about the fans,” Collins said. “It’s about the people and just giving some hours and giving some spark in their life to be able to push through whatever bad stuff is going on in their life. They can put that aside and be happy for one time during their day.”
