Being the highest NFL draft pick in the history of Lamar University is a cherished feat for Brendan Langley.
When the Broncos selected the cornerback in the third round of the draft in April (No. 101 overall), he immediately thought of those at the Football Championship Subdivision school who dotted the circuitous path to his dream.
And not just his teammates and coaches.
“Lamar’s done a lot for me, the university as a whole,” said Langley, who played his freshman season at the University of Georgia before transferring to the much smaller school in Beaumont, Texas.
