I got to know Marcus Lattimore pretty well when I covered him with the San Francisco 49ers in 2013-14.
I even traveled to South Carolina to do a profile on this special player and person. I respect Lattimore greatly.
He was a legendary running back at South Carolina and is revered in the state. He recently left his position as the director of player development at South Carolina, where his primary role was to be an ear and mentor to players in the Gamecocks’ program.
Lattimore is the perfect person to talk to about any player in the program so I reached out to him to get a better feel for Raiders’ third-round pick, receiver Bryan Edwards.
