A former wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints is making a comeback attempt in the NFL. It’s a familiar offseason narrative, and this time it involves a former Saint and LSU Tiger who took the 2023 season off.
Jarvis Landry, a former Saints WR, is aiming for an NFL return with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Landry, 31, is adored by Saints fans for his time with the team and his LSU days. There was a strong desire among fans for the Saints to sign him earlier in his career, which eventually happened, but it didn’t go as well as expected.
