Brandon Lang is one of several undrafted rookies that made a 53 man roster. OURLADS' rated him as a draftable player. What the 2010 OURLADS' DRAFT GUIDE said about Lang:

Lang, Brandon Troy 6036 260 5.05

Two-year starter. Very productive in college. Did not jump out with any special skills in practices or in the Senior Bowl game. Was 35th out of 35 ends in the Combine workouts. Short arms and small hands. Ran a slow 40 for his position. His edge speed from the left side at the Combine correlated with his pass rush productivity in college. He has an explosive first step. Struggles with the run right at him. When he sees the ball he goes to get it, but has average instincts. Needs to improve his functional upper and lower body strength. Good lateral quickness. Doesn’t stay blocked. Quick to shed. Gets his hands up to rush the passer. Doesn’t give up on the play. Has run through a back to make a sack. Plays high and leaves his legs exposed. Needs more consistency in his game. Plays better than he tests. Has 147 career tackles, 38 1/2 for loss, 24 1/2 sacks, and 6 forced fumbles. Edge speed:left 1.89, right 2.17. OSR:35/35. Sixth/seventh round. (A-32, H-8 1/2, BP-20, 10-1.68).
