LaRon Landry Suspension Lifted by NFL: Latest Details, Comments, Reaction

Joe PantornoNov 17, 2015

After being suspended for the first 10 games of the 2015 season because of a performance-enhancing drug violation, free-agent safety LaRon Landry's suspension was lifted on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter

Landry spent the last two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, appearing in 23 games and recording 163 total tackles, but was released after 2014. 

That was just two years off of his lone Pro Bowl appearance in 2012 while he was with the New York Jets.

A highly touted prospect coming out of LSU, Landry was drafted sixth overall in 2007 by the Washington Redskins, with whom he spent the first five years of his career.

While he built his reputation as a hard-hitting safety, Landry has had difficulty in pass coverage and tracking down the run game, which doesn't make him the most attractive target for a team's secondary.    

During his suspension, Landry got some work done in the weight room. One of Landry's lifting buddies, Jovan L. Swann, shared this tweet back in April (h/t Sporting News' Tadd Haislop):

At that size, some teams might call Landry's coverage capabilities into question and could consider him more of a linebacker.

But teams who are in need of defensive help—especially some of the lower pass-defending teams in the league, such as the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts—could make a move just to shake things up. That's where Landry could come into play.
