Every time Jets linebacker Harvey Langi steps on the field for a practice or a game he takes a deep breath and appreciates that he’s still able to play football.

When he was a rookie with the Patriots in 2017, Langi and his wife, Cassidy, were in a terrible car collision. The driver of the other vehicle had an open bottle of alcohol and three different prescription drugs in his car.

Langi suffered injuries to his head, neck, back and knees.
