One of the best Michigan State Football running backs in recent memory is heading to Canada. Jeremy Langford, who played for the Spartans, Chicago Bears, and Atlanta Falcons, has agreed to a deal with the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. The news was first reported by 3downnation.
Langford was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the Fourth Round of the 2015 NFL Draft where he played for two seasons, rushing for a total of 737 yards and 10 touchdowns. After leaving the Bears after a struggle with injuries, Langford had a brief stint with the Falcons but was waived with an injury designation.
Langford was one of the most productive running backs in MSU history, rushing for 2,967 yards and 40 touchdowns in his four-year career with the team, including a massive 1,522-yard season in 2014. Of course, Langford’s most memorable performance is likely his heroic 162 yard, 3 touchdown performance in the 2015 Cotton Bowl.
The 28-year-old Langford will join a crowded backfield in Saskatchewan but if he is now healthy should make a big impact in the league up north.
