RB Jeremy Langford

(Could you take us through the process of what brought you here? What made you a Dolphin?) – “Just the opportunity. I’m familiar with (Head Coach Adam) Gase from Chicago, so I know the offense. I have a couple of teammates here and just knowing that playbook is really the biggest thing. I’ll come in not too far behind.”

(How comfortable are you with the offense?) – “Like I said, it’s pretty similar to what we had in Chicago. There is still a lot more I’ve got to learn and critique and refresh my memory; but out of all the playbooks I think I’ve been in, this is the one I’m most familiar with right now.”

(How long do you think it will be before you get into the full swing of practice since today was your first day?) – “I just take it one day at a time. I just get a little bit better every day. It’s been a while since I’ve been out here at a practice, especially during camp, so I just take it one day at a time. Then eventually I’ll be where I want to be.”

(What have you been doing?) – “I had a couple of workouts. I had another workout before this. I’ve just been home. My main goal was staying in shape and when I get to a team, hit the ground running and don’t be too far behind.”

(What was your routine when you were on your own? How many days a week?) – “Four or five days a week. I was trying to stay on the same time limit so I was trying to get up early and not sleep in too late. So when I came here, it would be the same thing. Just getting up early, working as hard as I can to kill my body and start it up again the next day.”

(You had some opportunities with the Jets and the Ravens, how eager are you to prove you can still perform in this league?) – “I’m eager. It’s like a fresh start. I was telling my dad, it’s kind of like I’m getting drafted all over again. It’s a fresh start and I get to be somewhere else to work hard and I’m hungry. That’s the biggest thing, just go out there and learn and work hard and get better every day and get better every day.”

(You graduated with CB Tony Lippett right, at Michigan State? How does it feel to be with him again?) – “That’s big. We were one of the best dynamic duos in the Big Ten and he was my roommate. Like I said, I came here and as far as the locker room and the coaches, it’s comfortable. Now, I’ve just got to continue to work hard and take no days off.”

(How much of a challenge is it to earn a roster spot coming in this late?) – “It’s a challenge. I think you can control what you can control. The biggest thing for me is getting on special teams, show my speed and show my talent on tape. Just do it one day at a time and really just do it for all 31 other teams.”

(How would you describe your style as a running back?) – “I think I’m versatile. As far as coming in, I can do everything – third down and short, run routes and hit the home run. That’s what I’m coming in and trying to bring to the table.”

(What is it about Head Coach Adam Gase that you feel comfortable with?) – “I swear it’s the playbook and I know what type of coach he is. It’s all the coaches around, too. I played for a lot of the other coaches on the staff. It’s really the playbook is the biggest thing.”

(These guys seem to appreciate a guy who can do it all, third-down back that kind of thing. Is that somewhere where you two mesh?) – “Yes. Like I said, that’s something I can bring to the table. (I’m) somebody that can do everything and continue to work hard and continue to critique those things and show the coaching staff and everybody else that’s what I can do.”

(What can you tell us about the ankle injury you had and where it is now?) – “I’m good. My ankle is 100 percent. It’s the best I’ve felt since coming out of college. Everything is good right now and I’m completely healthy.”
