Brendan Langley, a former Denver Broncos wide receiver, was detained on Thursday after a physical altercation with an airport worker that was captured on film.
At Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, Langley, a third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, got into an altercation with a United Airlines employee that turned violent. Although the footage did not indicate who started the fight, both men swung blows at each other.
Langley was arrested and charged with simple assault, according to TMZ. The employee of United Airlines has not been arrested. The brawl is captured on video below, but be aware that it contains swearing.
The United Airlines employee was bleeding profusely from above the eye, as you can see. Even after being thrown down and receiving many blows to the face, he continued to attack Langley. The initial punch, according to Langley, was thrown by the other man.
According to the Daily Mail, the feud began after Langley was accused of transporting his stuff in a wheelchair rather than paying the $5 luggage cart cost.
Langley was a member of the Broncos for two seasons, 2017 and 2018. In 16 games, the former Lamar University standout largely played on special teams. Prior to the 2019 season, he was released. Last year, Langley signed with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. As of Monday afternoon, he was still on the Stampeders’ roster.

Brendan Langley Arrested
Langley’s NFL career with the Denver Broncos did not go as planned; he was drafted in the hopes that his college talent would be a key part of the special teams, but that never happened; Langley last played for the Broncos in 2018.
Despite the fact that the Denver Broncos were uninvolved in the incident, Langley was never the player they expected after the pick. Langley’s time with the team was short-lived, and he was forced to play in Canada.
Langley was set to return to the NFL in 2020, but his contract with the Seattle Seahawks practice squad fell through. He also ‘played’ in the XFL, however the season was canceled owing to Covid. Langley is a member of the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders as of 2022.

The video was recorded about 24 hours ago, and it was discovered by the online community that the passenger was ex-NFL player Brendan Langley. However, the video footage shows that Langley did not initiate the incident, since the United Airlines employee attacked first and Langley retaliated. Here’s a video:
Langley was charged with a misdemeanor (simple assault), which carries a maximum term of five years. However, because he was arrested and charged with simple assault, his sentence is likely to be less than a year, however with the video proof, Langley is likely to get out of jail quickly.
