Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Latu has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and Latu has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
  • Good burst off the snap, quick hands and good balance to gain a clean release.
  • Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
  • Latu has a tapered build and strong hands, ripping the ball back with ease when defensive backs manage to get a hold of it.
  • A lean athlete with obvious upside. Soft hands. Flashes the ability to make the outstanding catch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
  • He’s a work in progress as a blocker, often playing too high and getting overpowered at the point of attack.
  • Struggles tracking the ball over his shoulder.
  • Latu really isn’t a guy who will create a lot of separation.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
