Though JC Latham played right tackle at Alabama, here's why Tennessee is confident that he will thrive as Will Levis' blindside protector.
JC Latham met with Bill Callahan during his pre-draft visit with the Titans. Scheduled to be a 30-minute meeting, it morphed into a two-hour conversation, during which the 67-year-old offensive line coach and 21-year-old draft prospect picked each other's brains. They discussed their backgrounds. They discussed the standout offensive linemen at Alabama before Latham. They watched college and NFL film. They bantered back-and-forth about Latham's tape.
'What do you think of my footwork here? Are my eyes in the right spot?' His intensity for his craft carries into his demeanor. He takes the smallest things as slights. Like Alabama's decision to keep him at right tackle after Evan Neal, who manned the left side, left for the NFL after the 2021 season. 'I remember it pissed me off the first time I saw a guy play with a grill in against me,' Latham said. 'I'm thinking he's caring more about how he looks than me.
