Early years
Walker attended Bishop O’Dowd High School where he was an all-state offensive lineman, having helped Bishop O’Dowd to a 10-1 record as a senior after an 11-2 mark the previous year. He also played defense as a lineman.
Professional career
First stint with Raiders
Walker was frequently used as a field goal blocker. He blocked a potential game-winning field goal against the Denver Broncos on November 28, 2004. [1]
Buffalo Bills
Walker was the starting right tackle for the Bills since coming to Buffalo as an unrestricted free agent March 2, 2007. Walker and the Bills agreed to a 5-year, $25 million contract with a $10 million signing bonus.
Walker started all 16 games in 2007. He was part of offensive line that allowed only 26 sacks, the fewest allowed by Buffalo since sacks became an official NFL statistic in 1982. He helped pave the way for over 100 yards rushing in 11 of 16 games and a 112.5 yards per game rushing average.
In 2008 Walker hosted the internet series 68 Seconds with Langston Walker.[2]
Despite being expected to replace Jason Peters at left tackle in 2009,[3] the Bills released Walker after failed attempts to trade him on September 8.[4]
Second stint with Raiders
Walker was re-signed by the Oakland Raiders on October 14, 2009 and assigned No. 70.[5] He was re-signed on April 2, 2010.[6]
