Jacksonville Jaguars invite Jarvis Landry to workout at rookie minicamp

On the hunt for a team to join in 2024, former Dolphins star Jarvis Landry is working out for the Jacksonville Jaguars during the team’s rookie minicamp, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The five-time Pro Bowler didn’t play last season, but at 31, Landry is healthy and ready to play once again.

Jacksonville had nine picks in the 2024 NFL Draft over the weekend. They added one wide receiver, using their No. 23 selection in the first round to draft former LSU star Brian Thomas Jr. Landry will have Thomas Jr. as well as defensive tackles Maason Smith and Jordan Jefferson with him as fellow LSU alums at Jaguars rookie minicamp.

In his first four years with the Browns, Landy played in 59 games with 288 receptions for 3,560 yards and 15 touchdowns. With the Dolphins, he had 400 receptions for 4,038 yards and 22 touchdowns in 64 games.

Although Landry thrived in the NFL for the Dolphins and Browns, he had a career-low in production in 2021, only catching 52 passes for 570 yards. Disagreements with the Browns franchise led to his release, leaving him free to sign with the Saints in 2022. After signing with New Orleans, he played just nine games, tallying 25 receptions on 39 targets. He racked up 272 yards with one touchdown.

Landry finished his tenure at LSU as one of the most productive wide receivers in school history. He had 137 catches for 1,809 yards and 15 touchdowns. The wideout played for three years before going in the second round of the NFL Draft to the Dolphins.
