Kendall Langford is my new favorite player

[Tupac Shakur]

This guy is a monster on the field, and a great character guy off the field. Check out some of these tidbits:

The reason the Pirates have been successful in recent years has been the play of their defensive, led by the unheralded Kendall Langford. During his freshman year, Hampton ranked 58th in the nation in total defense (251.17 yards per game), but improved to sixth nationally in 2005 (270.92 ypg) and 15th in the Division 1-AA ranks in '06 (271.5 ypg).

Langford led Hampton in both sacks and tackles for losses as a sophomore and junior, when Hampton had success stopping the run. His dominance against the ground game stands out in his performances. In 234 running plays going directly at Langford during his career, the opposition managed only 63 yards, an average of 0.27 yards per attempt. In 47 games with the Pirates, the opposing team has produced just seven first-down runs on plays directed at Langford.

Because of Hampton's lofty academic reputation, Langford decided to enroll at the university in 2004. Lining up at right defensive tackle as a true freshman, he earned Freshman All-American honors from the Gridiron Report. He appeared in all 12 games, forcing his way into the starting lineup for three of the team's final four contests.

When he gets that "fire in his belly," he can completely dominate a game (see 2007 Morgan State, Delaware State, Norfolk State and Florida A&M contests and 2006 Howard, Morgan State, Norfolk State, Bethune-Cookman and New Hampshire games)

I heard all the phone conversations our rookies had with the Miami media after they were drafted.. And Langford was by far the most humble.

He sounda like he is going to bust his *** to be the best DE in the league. According to his tone. He was absolutely thrilled about becoming a dolphin.
