Jarvis Landry on Jameis Winston: He’s a leader, one of the reasons I joined Saints

Posted by Josh Alper on June 3, 2022, 6:54 AM EDT

Wide receiver Jarvis Landry is in his first week of OTAs with the Saints and that’s given him his first chance to work on the field with quarterback Jameis Winston .

Winston is making his way back from last year’s torn ACL and that process still has some way to go before he’ll be at 100 percent. Landry signed with the Saints in mid-May and noted that Winston was still working during the wideout’s post-practice press conference on Thursday while discussing the quarterback’s impact on his decision to come to New Orleans.

“He’s a leader , man. He’s . . . one of the reasons why I came here, just the conversations that we had, the intent that he’s putting behind the things that he’s saying,” Landry said, via Katherine Terrell of TheAthletic.com. “Obviously, out here on the field, what you see is what you get. Look, I don’t see nobody else out here. This guy is the last one. That’s who he is. That’s something that you want at that position and a part of your team.”

Winston threw 14 touchdowns and three interceptions in seven games before his injury last season. He’ll be working with a deeper receiving corps than last year with Landry and Chris Olave joining the returning Michael Thomas and the Saints are banking on that leading to bigger things on offense this time around.

This echoes what we're hearing from the other players, as well. Winston is well respected and appears to have the confidence of his teammates behind him. Gone are the days of players wanting to join the Saints to play with Brees. It's now time for Winston to shine.

Winston and Landry should give us tons of first downs. Just wait until they have their timing down.

Keep Jameis upright and we can dominate.

Wouldn't it be sweet to reclaim the NFC South crown with Jamay at the helm? I just wonder what the Bucs fans reactions may then be?

That’s a really good sign, that Jameis can recruit and possibly bring other good players here in the future. That leadership trait is hard to find in some players and impossible to teach.
