The San Francisco 49ers chose Alabama tight end Cameron Latu with the No. 101 overall pick in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Many were expecting Latu to be a Day 3 pick. However, the 49ers were impressed enough to pick the Utah native right before the end of the third round on Day 2.
Latu has the skillset to be productive at the professional level. He is 6-foot-5, 244 pounds and uses his frame as his strength. Latu made strides in the last two seasons at Alabama as both a blocking and receiving tight end.
Roll Tide Wire breaks down five reasons why Latu will be a great fit for the 49ers.
