Buffaloes in the NFL: Nate Landman to start for Atlanta Falcons after injuries

Forever Buff Nate Landman is getting the nod to start at inside linebacker this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

Landman, who was undrafted and in his second year in the league, earned the starting role after incumbent starter Troy Andersen was put on injured reserve after having shoulder surgery.

The former undisputed leader of the Buffs’ defense now has a golden opportunity to show that he has what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Landman saw the field in the Falcon’s game against the Packers las tweek and finished the contest with three solo tackles and one assist.
