What do you think of Jarvis Landry? Let us know in the comments. I wouldn’t rule out another 1,000-yard season for the veteran wideout if things fall into place correctly. But I’m very excited to see how he’s utilized in an offense that is suddenly oozing with talent. Jarvis isn’t necessarily a big-play receiver, and he won’t knock your socks off with his athleticism or power. But due to his injury history, as well as rookie Chris Olave’s inexperience, Landry is so valuable as a proven and sturdy option for Winston to always have in his back pocket if all else fails. Obviously if he can stay healthy, Michael Thomas will be hoarding the lion’s share of the targets in this offense, as he should. Oh, and he’s never missed more than five games in a season.įor all of these reasons, I think he’ll be a very popular target for Jameis Winston this season. He’s only dropped 39 passes on 980 regular season targets in his career. He’s never had a PFF drop grade of under 69.6 and has had above a 75 grade in six seasons. It’s no accident why he’s gotten at least 100 targets in six of his eight seasons in the NFL. Whether it’s on deep crosser against zone coverage where he finds voids against zone coverage, option routes or deceptively setting up his routes against man coverage to gain an advantage on his defender, he has a deep bag of tricks to make himself available to his QB. The five-time Pro Bowler will make New Orleans his third home in the NFL. The dude is just a professional at consistently finding ways to get open. The Saints are signing wide receiver Jarvis Landry, NFL Networks Tom Pelissero reported Friday. ![]() ![]() And he understands defender leverage as a route runner extremely well. He’s always made his most money in between the numbers and 0-20 yards down the field.ĭespite not being the fastest guy as far as straight-line speed, he’s very jittery and agile. Throughout his eight-year career thus far, Landry has played 67% of his snaps in the slot and he’s had at least 950 receiving yards in five of those eight seasons – over 1,100 in three of them. This is something he’s been doing his entire career. In only three pass play snaps that he was in the game for, he found holes in the zone for two catches and 35 yards over the middle of the field. But I think if you look past those outlying factors, Landry remains a 29-year-old pass catcher who’s still got it in the slot.Īnd we saw a minimal glimpse of what he brings to the table in the New Orleans Saints’ last preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both of them brushed off the interaction, in which Landry asked for the ball to help the Browns get back into the game that they eventually lost 38-24.Īs for the apparent request by Cleveland players for Arizona to pursue their football services, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury told Bickley & Marotta on 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station that he didn’t witness anything of the sort.Coming off of what was probably the worst season of his career, I think some people are forgetting just how good of a security blanket receiver Jarvis Landry is.Ī myriad of factors contributed to a down year for Landry in 2021 where he only racked up a career-low 570 receiving yards and two touchdowns – including injuries, poor quarterback play and a generally sloppy situation with the Cleveland Browns offense. Landry was already a focal point during the game after he and Cleveland coach Freddie Kitchens were caught disagreeing on the Browns sideline. ![]() Silver said two sources told him that “multiple” Browns players yelled at the Cardinals to “come get me,” requesting that they acquire them this offseason. I get it, but at the end of the day, don’t try to slander my name.” Michael or whoever the source was - it’s all about clicks now. ![]() “I would never look to another team in a game, especially that we’re losing, and say come get me - with a worse record than we have. “I think that the passion and the team I play for, that they trust and know my heart and know that I’m in this,” Landry said Wednesday.
