Latham hurt his ankle in the National Championship game on 1/08/24 & was helped off the field.
I think that he would have tested had he not hurt his ankle.
Assured as a 1st round pick & having a short window to get back up to 100% at his size likely led to him just letting Teams rely on his Game Tape.
He has always seemed to take his Job seriously, so I still Love him as pick, although many want to avoid him for not Testing.
Latham has the size & girth that is hard for defenders to move and looks long & athletic enough to me.
FWIW - Mel Kiper has him going to the Chargers at Pick #5.
Yeah, JC Latham scares me because of our history on taking OL in the first that avoided testing.
It really isn't about the player to me, he looks good from all the tape I have seen and actually fits well as the guy to take over for Trent Brown
as he has about 3 times the snaps as the other guy that fits extremely well in Amarius Mims.
