One of the longest-tenured players in NFL history (22 seasons), his NFL career began after going undrafted in 1983 and playing all three seasons of the USFL.  Landeta was selected for the All-USFL Team, and he joined the New York Giants in 1985, where he won two Super Bowls and earned two Pro Bowl selections and three First Team All-Pro selections.  After the Giants, he played for the Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, and Philadelphia Eagles, and is one of the few players named to two All-Decade Teams (80s & 90s).
