A former New Orleans Saints wideout is trying to return to the pros. The offseason normally includes at least one of these comeback stories, and a former Saint and LSU Tiger is trying his hand at one after taking 2023 off.

Landry, 31, is beloved by the Saints fan base due to his time with the team and his days at LSU. Fans clamored for New Orleans to sign him earlier in his career. They ultimately did, but the move did not work out quite as both parties hoped.
In his season with the Saints, Landry totaled just 272 yards on 25 receptions and one TD. He played in nine games, starting three.
That 2022 season with the Saints was his final one. Now, he returns to try to become a depth target for Jacksonville. Landry is a five-time Pro Bowler.
Landry also released a promo video for his attempted return to the league. Check it out below.
Five-time Pro Bowl WR Jarvis Landry is expected to participate in the #Jaguars’ upcoming rookie camp, per his agents @davidcanter @NessMugrabi and @IanGrutman.
