He dropped into coverage just eight times last season, according to Pro Football Focus. The 2024 first-rounder enters Year 2 with a near every-down role bookending the defensive line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Dominating in training camp
DEIndianapolis Colts
August 3, 2024
Stephen Holder of ESPN.com relays that Latu's performance in training camp has the rookie first-round pick making a case for himself to start on the Colts' defensive line.
ANALYSIS
Latu has made his presence felt during team drills, often blowing by offensive linemen and ending plays before they can even begin. He has made life particularly difficult for second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, who noted after Friday's practice that Latu is a "great young player and he keeps me honest." Latu is currently listed as the backup defensive end behind Kwity Paye and Dayo Odeyingbo. However, Odeyingbo has been out with a calf injury since Tuesday, which opens the door for Latu to get more reps with the first-team defense during practice sessions and potentially preseason games.
