In the 2024 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham with the seventh overall pick. Latham, a formidable player standing at 6 feet 6 inches and weighing 342 pounds, is expected to start at left tackle for the Titans. His selection is part of the Titans' strategic move to bolster their offensive line, which faced significant challenges last season, including allowing the second-most quarterback hits and a league-high pressure rate on 27.5% of dropbacks. Latham's impressive college career at Alabama, where he allowed only two sacks over 915 pass block snaps since 2022, highlights his potential to significantly improve the Titans' front line. He is set to sign a 4-year, fully guaranteed $26M contract, including a $15.7M signing bonus, with a 5th year option available in 2028.
