Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry set a world record with some assistance from former Browns quarterback Brady Quinn
Jarvis Landry can now add world record holder to his resume. During the CBS Sports pregame show Landry set the world record for most one-handed catches in one minute. Landry caught 48 passes with one hand to set the record.
Landry got some assistance from former Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn. Quinn threw passes to Landry in the pregame segment which now has Landry in the record books. Landry also appeared beforehand to discuss tonight’s Super Bowl matchup between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams.
Is the record a bit arbitrary? Absolutely. It seems like that the Browns connection between Jarvis Landry and Brady Quinn was used to put together a world record that many were previously unaware of. Although having a former Browns player throw passes to a current Browns player is a bit of feel good moment.
Is this a recruiting ploy from Jarvis Landry?
As mentioned previously, this could also be an effort by Jarvis Landry to recruit for the Browns. Baker Mayfield is also aiding in this effort. Although this is a more public display other than social media posts. Appearing on a national broadcast to set a world record is quite the platform to recruit if that is truly the case.
Browns players are doing everything they can to show that this is not the same old Browns. Appearing on a pregame show for the Super Bowl can only help change the perception of a once downtrodden franchise. This may be only the first of many displays to portray the Browns in a different light and recruit elite players to come to Cleveland. As long as this helps bring at least one player to Cleveland it is a success.
