This is very lofty praise, as Miller is considered by many of the best players in the game. Still, there's a reason why Landry is getting top half of the first-round draft talk by some, and he was a productive player during his time at Boston College. "When I look at Landry's game, he reminds me a lot of Von Miller during his time at Texas A&M," Miller writes. "Now, that is a helluva comparison for a top prospect based on how the Super Bowl 50 MVP has dominated the league as a pass rusher, but Landry's first-step quickness, balance and body control are eerily similar to Miller's movement skills, including the dip-and-rip move that the Boston College star seemingly stole from the Pro Bowl pass rusher."

There are a few plays where he does look like Von Miller:


I wish Landry's attacks were more diverse. He's entirely dependent on his outside speed/dip. Hands are almost nonexistent. He also lacks a little fire in the belly, IMO.

Serious potential. Like you all said - combine and medical will be big. I don't know about top ten , but if he lights it up who knows. He is explosive at times.

If this guy begins a free fall come draft day, I wouldn't mind us frantically making phone calls to come back in the 1st like we did for Foster. Depends on what the combine and medicals reveals of course

i agree.

Reason i think Landry is a safe pick, assuming healthy, is his versatility. Say he doesnt prove to be effective as a full time pass rusher at the LEO position, he has the athleticism to move to the SAM LB position and excel there. I do think however that he will be a great LEO but it is nice to know he could fit somewhere else if it doesnt pan out

Im interested in Landry's measurables. He may be best as a 3-4 OLB if hes too small.

I'm sure you saw this game already but Check 1:10 vs Hyatt . 1:48. 6:15. 7:00 with the bullrush on Hyatt. Nice plays but definitely does need to add some more hands. Didn't use the dip at all in this game but did miss a few tackles Early on which was concerning. Definitely got better as the game went on.
