Background

Jarvis Charles Landry was born in Convent, Louisiana, the United States, on November 28, 1992. The football star was raised by his mother, Dietra Landry; his father left when Landry was only a child. Landry has an older brother called Gerard. Landry’s mother has to work several jobs to support her two sons. When Landry was still a kid, his mother resigned her custody, and the football player went to live with a man called Elmo LeBeouf and his family. Although Landry was disappointed by his mother’s choice, Dietra believed it was best for him because she was working day and night. When Landry turned 11, he moved with his high school football coach.

Landry attended Lutcher High School in Lutcher, Louisiana. He was inspired to play football by his older brother Gerard, who used to play college football. After graduating from high school, Landry attended Louisiana State University and played for them from 2011 to 2013. Landry’s mad skills came out to shine when he played for L.S.T. By the 2014 National Football League draft, Landry was considered one of the best options and was picked by the Miami Dolphins. In 2016, Landry ranked 98th on the list of the Top 100 Players. In 2018, Landry was traded to the Cleveland Browns. The star player stayed with the Browns until March 2022. Two months later, in May 2022, Landry signed a contract with the New Orleans Saints.
