Harold Landry Signs Deal With Tennessee Titans
Harold Landry had a career year in 2021 as he was in on 74 tackles (50 solo) and racked up 12 sacks, both of which were career-highs. He also forced one fumble. The only deficiency statistically was that he had no interceptions or pass deflections, which he had done in previous years. But he more than made up for it elsewhere. In fact, he gained the first Pro Bowl berth of his career for his efforts.
Landry played football in high school at Pine Forest High in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He then played in college for Boston College from 2014 to 2017. He got Second-Team All-ACC honors in 2016 and Third-Team All-ACC in 2017. Landry was then drafted by the Titans in 2018 in the second round. Though he was not a starter in his rookie year, he still came up with 4.5 sacks. His breakout game came in Week 4 of that season against the Philadelphia Eagles when he recorded four tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.
He became a full-time starter in 2019. Since then, he has never missed a game. 2019 saw him finish with nine sacks, 68 tackles, one forced fumble with two recoveries, and the first interception of his career. 2020 saw him rack up 5.5 more sacks and 69 tackles, as well as one more interception and a career-high five pass deflections.
Thus far in his career, Landry has a total of 252 tackles (161 solo), 31 sacks, three forced fumbles with two recoveries, and two interceptions. He will be looking to build off the momentum of his first double-digit sack season.
