New York Giants' Landon Collins: 'I will not back down from Tony Romo test'

New York Giants defensive back Landon Collins has warned Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo he will not be successful if he targets him in their match on Sunday.

The Giants selected Collins in the second round of the 2015 Draft, and the 21-year-old will start for Tom Coughlin's men in their 2015 season opener due to a lack of depth in their secondary.

However, Collins is confident that the can rise to the challenge of facing Romo and his potent passing attack in their showdown.

"Tony Romo said he's looking for key matchups," Collins told the club's official website. "If he's going to look for key matchups, he's going to pick on me.

"I'm a rookie, but I mean, he comes towards my way, and he won't be happy."

The Giants face the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
