2015 Contract: Cut
Stats: 46 tackles
PFF Grade: +1.6
The Good:
Landry played fairly well once he returned from his suspension. At times he was used effectively, like on the blitz. He also offered a physical presence in the secondary.
The Bad:
Everything else. Landry was awful in coverage, especially one-on-one coverage. He wasn’t particularly effective as a run stuffer either.
Landry consistently took what might be considered the worst possible angles on tackles as well. And when he did make solid contact, he struggled to bring down the ball carrier. All those muscles and he couldn’t land a decent hit.
2015 Outlook:
In the midst of writing this piece, Colts announced that Landry was cut. Between the bloated contract, bad play, and the PED suspension it wasn’t surprising to see Landry get the boot.
