The San Francisco 49ers get an athletic developmental piece to stick behind one of the best weapons in the game in George Kittle with the selection of Alabama tight end Cameron Latu.
A two-year starter for the Crimson Tide, Latu was a lean athletic weapon for the Alabama offense and a key contributor in the short area passing game. During his final two college seasons, Latu put up the best numbers of his career with 56 catches, 787 yards, and an impressive twelve touchdowns. While he was not featured in the passing game, Latu’s upside was clear.
