Laiatu Latu was a bit of a controversial pick for the Indianapolis Colts in this year’s NFL draft. The news quickly made the rounds that he had been encouraged to medically retire from football just two short years ago after sustaining a neck injury. Many fans were losing their minds. Fast-forward a few months later and Latu is becoming the talk of the town as training camp wraps up week one.
Fans and analysts alike are equally impressed at his quickness and ability to get to the quarterback. I attended practice last Saturday and witnessed great moves on back to back plays that landed Latu in the offensive backfield.
