[edit] NFL career
Langhorne was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the seventh round of the 1985 NFL Draft. He played the role of the slot receiver, splitting time with a stacked receiving corps of Webster Slaughter and Brian Brennan, and later Eric Metcalf. Langhorne has his best season in 1988, amassing 780 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns. He continued to amass decent numbers, and signed with the Colts in 1992. He made an immediate impact on the Colts, leading the team in receptions and receiving yards. During the 1993 season, he had a career year, reaching 1,000 receiving yards for the first time. However, Langhorne was cut along with many other veterans after that season, or "all the guys making over a million."[1] He had already prepared a letter of resignation anyway, stating that he needed a break from the game.[1] Langhorne has served as the President of the Eddie Johnson Memorial Foundation since 2003.
Chris Berman referred to him as "Foghorn" Langhorne.
[edit] After NFL
Reggie retired to the Tidewater region of Virginia where he was born and raised and opened up a bar and grille in Newport News, Virginia where he still resides today.
