Landry III spent four seasons with the Eagles. During his time in Chestnut Hill, he appeared in 47 games and tallied 160 total tackles (100 solo and 60 assisted), 49 tackles for loss, 26 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, six passes defended, one fumble recovery, and one interception.

In 2016, he set the single-season sack record for the program with 16.5, a mark former defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku tied in 2024. 

The Spring Lake, N.C., native was drafted as the No. 41 overall pick (second round) by the Tennessee Titans in the 2018 NFL Draft where he has spent the entirety of his career. 

In February, Tennessee gave the 28-year-old permission to seek a trade and officially released the former Pro Bowler earlier in the month.
