Chicago Bears
Langford was drafted in the fourth round (106th overall) by the Chicago Bears in the 2015 NFL Draft.[10] He was the ninth running back out of the 23 drafted.
2015
On May 8, 2015, the Chicago Bears signed Langford to a four-year, $2.82 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $292,562.[11]
He entered training camp competing with Jacquizz Rodgers, Senorise Perry, and Ka'Deem Carey for the backup running back position. Langford was named the Bears' third running back on their depth chart behind veterans Matt Forte and Jacquizz Rodgers to begin the regular season.[12] During the Chicago Bears season opener against the Green Bay Packers, he received his first career carry for one-yard. The next game, he had six carries for 21 yards while scoring his first career rushing touchdown on a one-yard run against the Arizona Cardinals.[13]
Throughout the first seven games of the season, Langford had a light workload, backing up long-time Bears running back Matt Forte. In Week 8, against the Minnesota Vikings, he had a season high 12 carries for 46 rushing yards after Forte left the game with a knee injury.[14]
Langford received his first career start on November 9, 2015, filling in for injured veteran Matt Forte against the San Diego Chargers, gaining 73 rushing yards on 20 carries and a rushing touchdown, as well as 70 receiving yards on three catches which included a 23-yard gain,[15] and a 31-yard catch,[16] helping the Bears come back in the fourth quarter and win the Week 9 match-up, 23–20.[17][18]
Langford recorded a career-high 83 yards rushing on 18 carries against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 27, 2015.[19][20]
2016
Langford opened up the 2016 season as the Bears starting running back. He started the first three games before suffering an ankle sprain in Week 3, causing him to miss several weeks. During that time, rookie Jordan Howard had emerged as the starting running back in his absence. Langford returned to action in Week 8, however Howard kept the starting job the rest of the season, demoting Langford to the No. 2 back. He finished the season with 200 rushing yards and four touchdowns, along with 19 receptions for 142 yards.
On September 3, 2017, Langford was released by the Bears after falling down the depth chart behind Jordan Howard, rookie Tarik Cohen, and Benny Cunningham.[21]

New York Jets
On December 8, 2017, the New York Jets signed Langford to a one-year, $630,000 contract to join their practice squad.[11][27] He signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets on January 10, 2018.[28] He was waived on April 13, 2018.[29]
