Meet every player on the New York Jets' 90-man roster through our preseason series

Undrafted rookie Derrick Langford is one of 10 cornerbacks on the New York Jets' 90-man roster. 

Prior to signing a deal with Gang Green following the 2023 NFL Draft, the junior college product spent four years competing in the Pac 12 Conference. Langford ended his Washington State career by making 26 consecutive starts.

The 6-foot-1 defensive back totaled 78 tackles, four interceptions and three forced fumbles over that two-year span. 

Langford accounted for a number of notable performances during the 2022 campaign. He made four stops against No. 6 USC and set his career high with nine tackles against No. 15 Oregon. 

The cover corner recorded a Pick-6 in a Pac 12 road win and intercepted a pass in the Apple Cup against rival Washington. Langford, a NorCal native, accounted for six stops against Fresno State in the LA Bowl.

Langford is the lone first-year pro amongst the Jets' crop of cornerbacks.

The UDFA did not boost his stock during Combine-style testing. His 4.53-second 40-yard dash was one of his better marks en-route to an "okay" 6.11 Relative Athletic Score (RAS).
