DeMarr Langford, a former college basketball standout, surprised many by attending Holy Crosss NFL Pro Day to pursue a football career. Despite last playing football in eighth grade, Langford, with his impressive build, aims for the tight end or receiver position. He graduated from the University of Albany and trained at Exceed Sports in Westborough, where coaches compared him to successful NFL players who made similar career transitions. Other local talents, including Jake Jarmolowich and Jack Morvan, also participated in the pro day, which drew New England Patriots scouts. The event, now in its seventh year, showcased New England players and provided a platform for these athletes to kickstart their professional football careers.
