Landry joins former teammate Odell Beckham Jr. and four other former LSU players as Pro Bowlers, though Arizona Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu will miss the game due to injury as well.
Landry became the first player in Dolphins history to record a 100-catch season. His two-year total of 194 receptions is an NFL record for the start of a career, breaking Marques Colston’s mark (2006-07, New Orleans Saints).
Beckham made 187 catches during his first two seasons for 2,755 yards and 25 touchdowns, averaging almost 5 yards per catch more than Landry, who has reached the end zone just 9 times as a receiver.
Travin Dural and Malachi Dupre, LSU’s current top wideouts, each project as NFL draft picks as well. Dural decided to return for his senior season in 2016, while Dupre will face his own early-entry decision this time next year.
