He was the first of 10 players selected as he came off the board at No. 7 overall.
Latham is excited to help quarterback Will Levis be successful in Tennessee, but he wants to help the Titans become a consistent playoff team. He took the field for his first day of rookie minicamp in Nashville (Tenn.), but the contract he signed is a four-year deal worth $26 million. Latham’s contract is fully guaranteed with a fifth-year option. The 6-foot-6, 342-pounder made first-team All-Southeastern Conference in 2023, aiding Alabama to an SEC Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance.

He arrived as a five-star in the 2021 signing class, but Latham captured two SEC title rings (2021, 2023) and two CFP appearances (2021, 2023). He is prepared to become a star for the Titans up front.
