  Landers hoped to be invited to the NFL combine in February but wasn't. He has been training for Ohio State's pro day on Wednesday, but that has been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. His engaging personality would no doubt impress NFL teams in interviews, but visits between players and pro personnel aren't happening, either. It's not an easy time for players like him who are running out of time and ways to make an impression on NFL teams. "It's kind of put a roadblock in my path for the NFL draft," Landers said Saturday. "Right now, I'm doing what I can to keep working and grinding and taking it day by day, to keep counting my blessings." Landers' original plan was to train with OSU defensive line coach Larry Johnson on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and at his old high school, Huber Heights Wayne, and with the school's track coach, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Then Ohio State closed its athletic facilities, as did Wayne. Landers, who's living in Springfield with his mother and 9-month-old daughter, Jordyn, then went to a local gym. That also has been shut down. "My resources are becoming more and more limited, but I'm trying to find a way to still get my work in," Landers said. It isn't easy. He doesn't have weights in his home. It's the first time since before high school that he has been unable to lift. So Landers is doing what he can in his backyard. "I'm still working on muscle endurance," he said. "The way I've transferred my workouts is high volume, high reps, high sets. It might be pushups or types of pullups. "You can't really simulate a game or a practice or a pro day when you're in the house, but you've got to do what you've got to do." - Columbus Dispatch
