Proven EMU lineman with NFL pedigree
T.J. Lang’s defining edge is pro-level pedigree: at Eastern Michigan, he started 36 straight games over his final three seasons and played in 47 career games before becoming a 2009 fourth-round NFL Draft pick. That kind of durability, positional versatility at tackle, and week-to-week toughness made him a reliable trench piece rather than a flashy highlight guy—exactly the type of lineman coaches trust. If you value experience, consistency, and a battle-tested presence, he’s an easy fit; if you’re chasing raw upside, this is more of a polish-and-productivity profile than a project pick.
