Former Denver Broncos third-round pick Brendan Langley was involved in a fight with an airport employee and the video has gone viral.

Well, you certainly don’t see this kind of thing every day.

Former Denver Broncos third-round pick Brendan Langley, now under contract with the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League, was involved in a fight at the airport recently and a video of the fight has been going viral on the internet.

Whatever led to the witness here beginning to film the incident, it appears as though the United Airlines employee leaves his post to challenge Langley to a fight.

Langley is then assaulted by the United Airlines employee before he fights back.

The United employee comes up after getting hit by Langley and once again goes back to Langley like a woozy fighter trying to go one more round. More words are exchanged before the two are apparently broken up.

This video was circulating quite a bit over the last 24 hours, to say the least. The original video on Twitter has been viewed 12 million times and counting as of the time of this post being written.

A longer video clip was also posted on Twitter showing Langley and the United employee getting physical for a bit before the clip that has gone viral.

It’s unclear as of the time of this post being written what led to the employee leaving his post and getting physical with Langley. Regardless, it’s unfortunate for all involved.

Langley was once a third-round draft selection and former four-star high school project who was drafted to the NFL as a cornerback ended up shifting to wide receiver, and has now made his way back to the cornerback position.

Drafted by Vance Joseph and his staff, Langley had outstanding physical tools and athleticism coming out of the college ranks, as well as intriguing kick and punt return abilities.

Unfortunately, none of that translated to the NFL and he finished his career in Denver with a disappointing six total tackles and only 10 kickoff returns.

According to a report, Langley was arrested and booked for simple assault.
