Tennessee Titans EDGE Harold Landry

Landry fell into the laps of the Titans in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. But the drafting of the former Boston College edge rusher filled what was a quiet need for the Titans going forward.

The season began as a legitimate learning curve for the undersized pass rusher. But as the season grew older, Landry began to establish himself.

Landry closed the season with three straight starts and in that span, Landry recorded eight tackles, two sacks, and six quarterback hits. Those were the only starts of the season for Landry but it provided a glimpse of what he had to offer off the edge.

More starts are on the way for Landry as the team moved on from veterans Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan this offseason. So now Landry has an opportunity to be the team’s leading pass rusher and with his talents, he has the ability to do so.
