Big frame, real upside, but injuries slowed the climb
Eric Latimore was a 6-foot-6, 283-pound Penn State defensive end whose appeal came from size, power, and the ability to create disruption in the backfield; in the 2010 season he made 18 tackles, 5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 2 pass breakups, then earned an NFL look with Minnesota after graduation[1][4][8]. His differentiators were length, physicality, and flashes as a playmaker in a Top 10 Penn State defense, but his momentum was checked by a season-ending wrist injury in 2010 and earlier inconsistency in holding the edge[1][9][10].
