LSU's Jarvis Landry Can Make Claim as Best WR in the Nation

He leads the nation in receptions of 10 or more yards with 25—a whopping 73.5 percent of his receptions. He's also a major weapon in critical downs. He leads the SEC in third-down catches with 13 and yards with 269.

But it isn't just the numbers that makes Landry so impressive, it's the fact that he's doing it with a teammate—fellow junior Odell Beckham, Jr.—also having a stellar season. Beckham is fourth in the SEC with 507 receiving yards, one spot behind Landry.

All of this while playing in a pro-style offense that is still predicated on establishing the run behind LSU's seemingly endless stable of running backs.

Just how good is Landry? B/R's own Matt Miller projects him as a possible first-round pick in the 2014 NFL draft if he decides to come out.

"He's shown the concentration to track the ball on deep routes and fight through traffic for the ball underneath," Miller wrote in his Week 5 stock report. "Landry has speed and toughness, making him an A.J. Green-style dual-threat receiver.".

Right now I see 2nd round but he could definitely be first round if they are looking for more physicality and sure hands in their players on the most critical of downs.

He's durable, never missed a game or longer than a few plays do to being shaken up. Excellent blocker and snatches the ball out the air. He's also elusive if you guys have seen him break a few ankles this year to get more yardage. Body control and being absolutely fearless are major factors that could make him a top 3 WR taken.
