Petersburg, VA - Kendall Langford's presence is still being felt in Petersburg (Virginia). Langford, who currently plays defensive end for the Miami Dolphins, was honored at the annual Lachunda McGee Petersburg High School alumni football game Aug. 14 at Cameron Field."I'd like to thank Petersburg - the whole city and the school system," Langford said during a phone interview with The Progress-Index in July. "This is my city. Petersburg will always be my city."
And Langford, who graduated from Petersburg High School in 2004, is showing his gratitude. The former Crimson Wave and Hampton University standout has donated three Sorinex weightlifting machines and several lifting platforms, complete with standard and hexagonal grip bars, to the school. The Sorinex machines can be used for both bench and squat lifting. Langford also paid all shipping costs.
The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Langford started 14 games in 2009 for Miami, recording a career-high 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks. He has two solo tackles to his credit through two preseason games this season. But Langford's heart - and not his stats - are why he remains so beloved in Petersburg.
