Throughout the NFL Draft process, the Los Angeles Rams have been connected to UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu. Latu fits the biggest need on the Rams roster and is one of the top edge players in this draft class.

However, like most draft prospects, Latu doesn’t come without his share of concerns. Unfortunately for Latu, his concern nearly ended his football career. Latu suffered a serious neck injury before the 2020 season and was forced to medically retire. The UCLA edge rusher defied the odds and ended up making a football comeback, eventually transferring the Bruins.
