Jarvis Landry is a five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver who led the league in catches in 2017 and set a since-broken record for most receptions through a player's first four seasons, with 400.
He is 31. He will also be trying out for the Jacksonville Jaguars through their rookie camp.
NFL Network, citing Landry's agents, reported that Landry is expected to participate in the team's rookie camp as he tries to rejoin an NFL roster after sitting out the entire 2023 season. A short video was attached to the report, showing Landry going through footwork, agility, route running and catching drills.
Rookie camps are typically when a team's incoming draft picks acclimate to NFL action, although teams also invite undrafted players to compete for potential offseason roster spots. Any players who impress may be asked to return for offseason organized team activities and training camps, before teams whittle their rosters down to the 53-man deadline in late August.
Landry last played in 2022 for the Saints, but he struggled with an ankle injury suffered in Week 3 of that season that led to his appearing in just nine games. He drew 39 targets and caught 25 passes for 272 yards and one touchdown. Landry could never recuperate fully from the ankle injury, leading to New Orleans putting him on injured reserve.

Landry had signed a one-year deal with the Saints in May 2022 after he played four years in Cleveland and four in Miami, the team that drafted him. The Browns had cut Landry just ahead of the start of free agency in 2022, in a cost-saving move.
Landry enjoyed his most successful years with the Dolphins, when he hauled in 400 passes for 4,038 yards and 22 touchdowns in his first four NFL seasons. That set an NFL record for most receptions through a player's first four seasons, a record that future Saints teammate Michael Thomas would go on to shatter, with 470.
Known as a possession receiver who can operate in the slot, Landry demonstrated an ability to find gaps in opposing defenses and generate first downs through his mostly reliable hands. Landry's production, however, even before his ankle injury, declined in his final seasons with the Browns; in his final season in Cleveland, he caught 52 passes for 570 yards with two touchdowns.
