With the second to last pick in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft, the San Francisco 49ers select former Alabama tight end Cameron Latu.
Latu became the fifth Alabama player selected on Day 2 with four of those selections being in the third round.
Latu arrived on campus in Tuscaloosa as a defensive prospect but would move to tight end before the 2021 season and that move proved to pay off. Over his final two seasons at Alabama, Latu hauled in 56 catches for 787 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Latu will have the privilege to play with one of the top tight ends in the NFL, George Kittle.
Congratulations and best of luck to Cameron in the NFL!
