At the end of every season the NFL portions out performance-based pay that typically supplements the pay of lower-paid, usually younger players who get substantial playing time beyond their pay grade. If the first two preseason games are any indication, Jeremy Langford will be getting some overtime pay once this season is done.
The rookie running back flashed with a 46-yard run in the win at Indianapolis, added a two-yard, second-effort touchdown run and finished with 80 rushing yards. Against Miami, Langford caught both of the passes thrown to him besides carrying four times.
All of this on top of being part involved in special teams and covering kicks, the closest the NFL likes to get to rookie hazing.
