It took a while, but I got all 112 Landry receptions charted. Pre-snap alignments, catch point, route run, % of routes run within 3 yards of the LOS, YAC average, broken tackles, FD and TD % and much more.

By the time you read this, Jarvis Landry might be wearing a different colored uniform. Juice, the aptly nicknamed wide receiver, has value that goes well beyond the box score. Detractors will point to his anemic yards-per-catch average to disparage the three-time Pro-Bowler’s on-field contributions.

Contextualizing data is just as important as the data itself. Landry has traits similar to a running back – he’s built like a house and runs with a level of intensity not match by his position-mates.

I think a 2016 chart would be more reflective of what the player is
 
Exactly, that is why I kinda like the idea of looking for a Ty Montgomery type in this year's draft. Some RB's are more reliable receivers than a lot of the flashy WR's who drop passes and don't give full effort every down.

Of course you want to look at his best season relative to the other 3 where he averaged less ypc.

The real value in those charts is comparing charts from the different players on the same team... Compare Stills to Landry and it jumps off the screen... They ask one to run ALL routes, and the other is LIMITED to the shorter ones... And the one only running the shorter routes is asking 14M per... This is insane...

you touched on exactly the question i want answered. Why has 2 different coaching staffs over 4 years used Landry this way. Why doesn't he run a full route tree and why doesn't he run more option routes. Is he not the best route runner, does he struggle deciphering defenses on the option routes, or is he simply a player who is most effective at the short routes? I have some assumptions in my head but i would like to hear from everyone else and the reason as I honestly can't find an answer to it.

Landry is excellent is close quarters, he is truly elite there. Because his lack of top end speed doesnt hurt him there and his ability to separate is emphasized. The further you go downfield, the more you need that top end speed to maintain separation and while he's by no means short, he doesnt have the size to compensate... So then it becomes a balance of using the guys skill to the fullest without being too predictable. Up to this point, coaches have used Landry to his skillset with complete disregard to the predictable part... The obvious downside to that is that teams are not worried getting beat deep with this particular player. The main argument here is: Are you comfortable giving a big contract to a limited player.
