Jeremy Langford was one of the buzz names for the running back position at the NFL Combine. I was not expecting a 40-time in the low 4.4s and twitter rambled on about the time throughout that day. Langford presents a chance to look at prospect profiles that center on a single drill.
Langford’s speed score (weight-based 40-time) scored a 64 in the projection model for the drill (1-100 scale), but the rest of his combine was sub-par. Every other drill scored between the 30s and mid-40s in the model and even a promising speed score left Langford hovering around the Mendoza line in total athleticism score at +6%.
