"The interest has always been there," Langford said. "It was going to be my Plan B if I didn't make it to the NFL. I was blessed enough to make it to the NFL, but someday my career's going to be over."

Langford, 31, has been with the Colts for two years. He was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in 2008.

It takes two years to become a SWAT member with the Broward Sheriff's Office in Florida. The office partners with the NFL to show players what they can do with their lives after football.
