TEN • OT • #55
A true super-heavyweight LT prospect who checked in at 6’6/342 at the NFL Scouting Combine, Latham spent his freshman year at RG before making a permanent move to RT as a sophomore. Latham took to his new position quickly, improving his blocking efficiency rate from 96.4%-to-98.8% while allowing zero sacks and just one QB hit in 486 pass reps. His play elevated to All-American levels in 2023, with Latham leading Alabama with a superb 0.6% blown block rate on run plays while allowing three hits and two sacks on 429 pass reps. With a double-wide XXL frame, Latham has unnatural mirroring ability and explosiveness for his size. He does have a tendency to lean into contact and can be beaten with speed around the hoop, leaving him vulnerable to inside counters against upper-echelon pass rushers. A difference-making road grader in the run game with a hybrid guard/tackle build, Latham is a top flight offensive lineman and fills a desperate need for Tennessee.
