Is Landry One of the Most Respected Tigers Ever?

Not saying the greatest player, but at least among the most revered and respected. In his 3 years I can't recall anyone ever critical of him. His tenacity on special teams early on, his workman like approach, his consistency, demeanor, maturity, and clutch performance seems to have entrenched him in Tiger folklore.

He should be

He's up there with Kevin Faulk, Kyle Williams, Rohan Davey, and Michael Brooks to me as my favorites.

No, but he's up there

We have had some great receivers, but I think he is the best all around player I have ever seen at the position. As many have said, he catches EVERYTHING, he blocks, he works so hard, contributes on special teams. I am excited about watching him on Sundays. I have enjoyed him thoroughly.

yes.
but there is a whole host of great Tigers I greatly respect. Couldn't even type them all here in a reasonable time

Before Friday there were still a lot of posters who would tell you that OBJ was better and that Landry wouldn't do well as a first option.
He was one of the most unheralded talents on LSU in my opinion. Should be 1st round in the draft and a bargain for an NFL team at that.

Great point, and the answer to the question is yes.
IIRC, he came of age on special teams against auburn. Since then, all we ever see is him being where he's supposed to be, block downfield, showing mental toughness, not to mention his physical toughness. I love the young man, and think he'll do well at the next level. I need to revisit my favorite top ten tigers of all time. I'm 47. My earliest lsu memories are the golden tones of John ferguson talking about bert jones, brad Davis, and later, Charles Alexander. IMO, Jarvis Landry is about to bump someone of my favorite top ten tigers of all time. Which means nothing to anyone lol. Just saying.
Thanks Landry. You epitomized what we want every tiger to be like, and you've made lutcher proud.

Yes. I put Hester in that class as well.

I was thinking earlier today about the highlight reel LesMiles.net will do for him when he leaves and it occurred to me it will have to be at least 10 minutes long just to get all his circus catches. One of the best LSU players I've ever had the privilege to watch.

that's a little too far
I was about to say the most talented, but I think it is more about his courage, and vicious determination to make EVERY play that surpasses pretty much everyone I can think of. There have been many as talented, maybe even some more talented, who never applied that talent to the insatiable desire to win. I respect his instinctual pouring it all out on every play, that he clearly doesn't think about, it's just who he is. Just imagine if every team member gave it all as consistently as him. That, IMO, is the difference between good and great. IF only LSU's coaching staff could extrude that attitude from every player.

I miss all the people saying he should be playing safety
Posted on 12/1/13 at 11:35 pm to tigertracts
He better be.
He is by me. One of my favorite Tigers of all time.

To me he is for sure. I just live the way he plays the game. Tough as nails on the field, very modest off the field, but very talented as well.
I agree not the best player in LSU history (even though very very good) but one of my favorite tigers off all time for sure.
