LaRon Landry took the field today and Rex Ryan was impressed.
The first thing you look at is obviously the physical stature of him but you forget that the guy runs a 4.3 (forty yard dash time)
Rex added that he was impressed with the other projected starter at safety, Yeremiah Bell.
I mean when you see Yeremiah Bell, you see LaRon Landry, you added two Pro Bowl safeties to a pretty good defense. Albeit, with LaRon it’s clearly about his health. If he stays healthy, we know what we have. That’s a perennial Pro Bowl safety. Yeremiah Bell, I think, is one of the great moves in the offseason that I think was under the radar.
