While he's a capable pass-rusher with 17.5 career sacks and 13 quarterback hurries, Langford is truly dominant in the running game. He reportedly yielded just six rushing yards while defending 71 runs that were directed at him during the 2007 season.
The 6-foot-6, 287-pound lineman is drawing interest from both 3-4 and 4-3 defensive scheme teams. According to NFLDraftScout.com, opponents ran at Langford 124 times the last two seasons and lost a total of 22 yards. The big guy has the brute strength of a James Harrison and enough speed to develope into a pass rusher. Some may call him a sleeper, but not the Steelers, who've shown interest all year.
So far, Langford has early-April visits penciled in on his calendar with the Vikings and the Steelers. And while other teams such as the Jaguars, Redskins, Colts and Eagles have all shown good interest in him, the Steelers, Jets and Dolphins appear to be the frontrunners at this point.
Sounds like the kinda guy we need. A DE who is a monster on run defense and has some potential to pressure quarterbacks. He is currently the 18th ranked DE on scout.com's draft board. A lot of that probably has to do with where he played. Hampton is a small college not well known for its football prowess. Because of that he may be a sleeper who we could take early on day two of the draft. :yellowthumb:
