Chargers offensive line coach Mike Devlin traveled to Tuscaloosa, AL, where he got a closer look at one of the top offensive line prospects.
On Wednesday, Devlin was spotted at Alabama’s Pro Day working out tackle JC Latham.

Hulking at 6-foot-6 and 360 pounds, Latham is a force in pass protection and the run game with a great combination of size, strength, physicality and agility, projecting as a starter from Day 1.
It’s no surprise that the Chargers are focused on Latham as they look to beef up the offensive line to bolster the running game. Latham would likely replace Trey Pipkins at right tackle if they drafted him.
Latham would most likely be an option in a trade-down scenario. And that’s a possibility with the Vikings, who currently own the No. 11 overall selection, looking to move up to draft their quarterback of the future.
