Cameron Latu was mostly used as an inline tight end who was a blocker but offered possession-receiving abilities at Alabama. He’s developed tremendously over the 2021 season as a receiver. Latu has good size for the position, and is certainly strong enough to hold up as a blocker in the NFL, but lacks some of the athleticism he will need to be more than a TE2 at the next level.
