-> He recently watched highlights from Jacksonville’s divisional playoff win against the Denver Broncos in 1997. His father, then a rookie, had a team-high seven tackles in the 30-27 win and was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie team that year.

His father made an early impact 24 years ago. Langston hopes he can do the same in Storrs “In that game, he led the team in tackles and almost looked more like a veteran,” Langston said. “That’s something I want to do at UConn.” <-

We have some very young players who are going to play very early in their careers . The players Edsall is bringing in are much better then the players that transfer out.
