Langford bulked up in the offseason so he can be used as a three-down back, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although Langford had some success in his audition with the Bears as a rookie last year, he'll also need to focus on being more sure-handed as a receiver. Also, bulking up could make him stronger, but he certainly runs the risk of losing some of his speed and explosiveness- traits that were a big part of the success he had when making big plays last year. He'll clearly be a player to watch during preseason games, as he competes with rookie Jordan Howard, Ka'Deem Carey and Jacquizz Rodgers to claim his spot in the team's backfield pecking order.
