Literally the total package.

Finesse and physical. Top notch agility and elusiveness. Not elite speed but more than enough to get it done. Can get off jams. Breaks tackles like its nothing. Monster blocker. Gets amazing separation. Sure handed. Could play some RB if needed. Could play wild cat QB. Can return punts and kicks. Hell he could probably even play some defense if he had to.

I bet he won't be. He committed early so there's no drama...

I'm thinking you might want to lower your expectations a bit.

I believe this also but i've said repeatedly to many fans of different schools and most agree that the scouting services will see all the good things and rave about them but will always be looking for something to knock him down.Speed and typical size will be heard the most in regards to him.

Probably a high 4*, top 150 type.

I really disagree with this statement....I am not saying he will be top 5, but he wil definitely be top 15 five star imo.

Not trying to knock the kid, but he's listed at 5'11" and weighs 178 lbs and doesn't have elite speed. NO FREAKING WAY he's gonna be top 10 WR much less top 5. WRs need to be at least 6' and/or run 4.4 forties to be ranked highly. He's not big and he's not super fast. Not a great combo for the ranking people to look at.

P.S. I am happy we got him b/c he's a great talent, but his measurables are gonna prevent him from being a top rated WR.

I don't care where some recruiting service jerkoff ranks him, the kid can ball. Just remember that people thought so highly of Jerry Rice he ended up at Mississippi Valley State. Even Miss. St. passed on the GOAT.

I agree. I would take a Josh Reed player any day that catches everything. I miss a possesion receiver that can make sharp cuts in the open field like a running back. The deep speed is nice, but dropping the ball is not.

I agree.

Measurables will hold him back in the eyes of the recruiting services, but he will still be a gamechanger for LSU

Top 5 WR Trovon Reed doesnt agree with this

Measurables may hold him back.. but "it" can go a long ways. I think it would be a travesty if he wasn't in the top-50, but top-5.. I'm not going that far.

There are players that have that "it" factor. The one's that if you look up,and their on your team,you know your going to win,and they are going to make the play. Landry is that player. You can throw all the measurables out the window,he just beat you!!

Landry will be a top 50 player that could push for 5 star status.

I think he's a solid ATH, rated to high as a WR.
