UCLA football defensive end Laiatu Latu wants to tackle these two former NFL MVPs once he enters the NFL.
is on the verge of entering the 2024 NFL Draft, as he is expected to be drafted in the first round on Thursday. Ahead of the draft, Latu shared that on his NFL bucket list the player he wants to sack is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and the player he wants to tackle is Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson when he's on the run, he toldMahomes and Jackson are two of the NFL's best quarterbacks, and also two of the hardest players to take down.
The good news for Latu is he showed a knack for bringing down the quarterback at UCLA. With 13 sacks his final year of college, few collegiate pass rushers could take down quarterbacks at the same rate as Latu, who won the Ted Hendricks award as the best defensive end in college for his efforts. Along with sacks, Latu also excelled at tackles for loss, a skill that could also come in handy with his goals to bring down some of the best quarterbacks in the game.
For Latu to have the best shot at reaching his goal of taking down these quarterbacks, he'd have to get drafted by an AFC team so he would go up against Mahomes and Jackson more frequently.
