2. Jarvis Landry, Miami Dolphins WR

Wide receiver Jarvis Landry ranks as a close second on the list of the Top 10 Tigers currently in the league. In college, Landry, coupled with Odell Beckham Jr., created a lethal double-threat at the wide receiver position, making the LSU passing game a serious force to be reckoned with, especially in 2013.

In his two seasons with the Dolphins, Landry has accumulated a total of 1,915 receiving yards. Landry has been targeted 276 times in his career, with a total of 194 receptions. With this, Landry was not to be outdone by former teammate Beckham Jr. in this department (187), Landry set the record for most receptions by a wide receiver in his first two seasons.

Nine of these receptions resulted in Dolphins’ touchdowns. We can easily expect to see Landry continue to be a vital part of the Miami offense heading into the 2016 season.
