Walker: What are some of the tougher catches to make? Over the shoulder? Back shoulder?

Landry: I’ve tried to put myself in every position possible to be able to catch the football. Until you challenge yourself at a particular catch, or a particular area of the field to make a particular catch, you would never know if you can make that catch. So I try to challenge myself with over the shoulders, behind, back shoulders, whatever. I challenge myself so when the games happens, I’ll be prepared for it.

Walker: As a person with good hands, are you the type who remembers your drops?

Landry: Always. One of the guys on the team just asked me if I thought I had a great scrimmage. Even though I scored a touchdown and had a couple yards, no. I had one drop and I take that to heart. So I’m doing extra jugs and catching extra balls to try to eliminate that mistake.

Walker: Finally, are good hands something that’s natural or can be developed?

Landry: It’s a little bit of both. But at the same time, as a receiver it’s one of your best tools. One of your best tools is being able to catch the football. But I think you can throw all that out the window when the ball is in the air. At that point it’s all about the attitude. It’s about, ‘It’s my ball, and go and get it and make that play.’ That’s what separates guys.”

Great attitude !!! He's going to be solid and future star.
 
Brian Hartline should learn from him how to catch with your hands and not the body.

Everyone wants to downvote me, but watch Hartline. He uses his body more than his hands.

Wallace is an awful catcher, thats already established. Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry have the best hands on the team.

You're absolutely right, IMO. But keep in mind that because Hartline has been a bright spot on a bad team, and because he stuck up for the team during Bullygate, people here don't want to be even remotely critical of him.

He's not a bad player, I'm not saying that, but his hands certainly aren't special. And before someone retorts that he ha great hands, go watch that week 16 game again. Do it. Then reply.

He's a very good route runner. He knows how to use his head and hips. His ability to sink his hips and use his head to sell routes is pretty damn good. He knows how to diagnose coverages and is a savvy player.

Yet he has terrible form catching the football. Everyone thinks he has great hands, when he doesn't. They are barely average.

Hartline doesn't have great hands, but he has extreme body control when catching a ball and that's a rare attribute...
