Potential Chicago Bears First-Round Draft Pick Speaks Out on Top Prospect Caleb Williams
One of the more common names i've been hearing around the Bears extra draft pick has been UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu.
While being interviewed on the number 1 overall prospect Caleb Williams, and potential Bears teammate, Latu spoke highly of him:
"Shoot, he's such an athlete. I haven't faced a QB like him. When you beat the tackle and you have a free angle at him, you can't run full speed. He's always got a move. He sees you no matter where you're at on the field, and he's got a move waiting for you to try and get around you. You've got to plant your feet and redirect, because he's always bouncing from left to right, up and back"
- Latu said
Latu has declared for the NFL draft and is seen as being the best pass rusher in this class. He finished his college career as a superstar, as in just 2023 alone, he made a total of 49 tackles, 21.5 for loss, 13 sacks, and 2 interceptions.
This past season, Latu was awarded with the Ted Hendricks Award, the Lombardi Award, named as a Unanimous All-American, the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year, the Morris Trophy, named as the Polynesian Football Player of the Year, and was named as a first-team All-Pac-12.
Latu clearly has a ton of respect for Williams, and this is a good sign if these two become teammates.
