2024 NFL Draft week big riser this season appears to be Alabama offensive lineman JC Latham.
Latham was once viewed as a mid-first-round prospect, but prominent mock drafts in the past 24 hours have pegged him as a candidate to go as high as No. 5 in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night.
The Chargers, who are picking No. 5 have been tied to Latham as a perfect fit for new head coach Jim Harbaugh’s offense and the team may view him as a better fit for the roster than projected consensus top offensive lineman Joe Alt.
