INDIANAPOLIS -- UCLA outside linebacker Laiatu Latu believes his unlikely comeback from college football "retirement" will extend into the NFL draft's first round.
Latu said Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine that "no teams have talked about any kind of concern" over the neck injury that kept him on the sideline at Washington for two years. Latu added, to this point in Indianapolis, that "being out here I haven't had to do too many medicals [exams], just like everybody else."
"I've been dreaming of the NFL since I was a kid, and I never gave up on it all," Latu said.
