Landry has far exceeded my expectations for him this season. I think that he could make a legit argument for OROY if he leads the rookie WRs in receptions and goes on a TD streak. He's being targeted enough that he could easily have a few multi-TD games over the final stretch. I do still see him as limited physically, but he is fun to root for. I don't think he'll ever be a true #1 (commands double teams and still beats that enough of the time), but he could be a very nice do everything type. After the draft, I said his ceiling was a Hines Ward-type. I thought it was unlikely that he'd ever reach that, but it was possible. To provide a more current comparison, I think that next year he could be a Golden Tate type for us.
He's a young Vincent Jackson and that is not a bad thing. Especially because it took Jackson several years to find his groove. Scary how good he can be.
Totally agree. I wonder if it's feasible though. So far this season, we've had two 100 yard rushing games and zero 100 yard recieving games. (Or 90+!) I don't think I can ever recall having an offense where the ball is so spread out amongst so many players.
Five games in a row with 5+ receptions, leading the Miami Dolphins in receptions as a rookie... Jarvis Landry is now leading all rookies in Receptions... He leads all rookie WRs in YAC... He leads active rookie WRs in catch percentage... Leads all rookies in All Purpose Yards... And leads all rookies in Yards per Touch...
He'll never be as good as Watkins or Evans, but that's fine as long as they accompany him an Evans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
According to PFF, Jarvis Landry is already the #1 slot reciever in the NFL: What really strikes me is that he is targeted on more than 25% of routes he runs. We were having a discussion earlier in this thread about yards/target, but his yards/route is actually fifth-best amongst slot receivers. Good sign! (So is only two drops, after he also only had two drops at LSU last year.) For all the diatribes about the routes he runs, this is helpful to compare him to his peers. (I don't subscribe to PFF, this was tweeted by Andrew Abramson.)
