INDIANAPOLIS -- UCLA outside linebacker Laiatu Latu is gearing up for what could be a remarkable comeback story as he sets his sights on the NFL draft's first round. Despite facing a significant medical question mark due to a neck injury that sidelined him for two years, Latu remains confident in his abilities and the support he has received from teams leading up to the draft. Speaking at the NFL scouting combine on Wednesday, Latu expressed that no teams have expressed concerns regarding his neck injury. He emphasized that during his time in Indianapolis, he has not had to undergo extensive medical examinations, echoing the sentiment that his injury has not raised red flags among NFL evaluators. For Latu, the journey to the brink of an NFL career has been a challenging one. After being advised to medically retire from football by the Washington staff following a neck injury in preseason workouts in 2020, Latu underwent surgery, including neck fusion surgery, to address the issue. Despite Washington's medical staff not clearing him to play, Latu's determination to return to the field led him to seek a second opinion from renowned surgeon Dr. Robert Watkins, who ultimately gave him the green light to resume his football career. Since joining UCLA in 2022, Latu has made a significant impact on the field, tallying 23.5 sacks and 36.5 tackles for loss over two seasons. His performance has not gone unnoticed, as he has received accolades such as the Lombardi and Hendricks awards, establishing himself as one of the top pass-rushers in the upcoming draft class. Ranked as the No. 14 player on Mel Kiper Jr.'s Big Board, Latu's draft stock continues to rise as he aims to showcase his skills at the combine. With an impressive collegiate career under his belt and a determination to prove his worth at the professional level, Latu remains focused on making a strong impression during the combine workouts and solidifying his status as a top prospect in the NFL draft.
