LaRon Landry, S, Indianapolis Colts                            

LaRon Landry was once considered one of the hardest hitting safeties in the NFL, along the ranks of Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu and (possibly) Rodney Harrison.

And then he got hurt.

After missing all of just one game in his first three years, injuries limited Landry to just 17 games total in 2010-11 combined, where he recorded just one interception and a sack.

Landry played in all 16 games in 2012 with the Jets and played in 12 games in his first year with the Colts last year, however he hasn’t been the same all-fearing safety since his injuries a few years ago, however if Landry can stay healthy, he could possibly return to his old hard-hitting form.
