The first-round pick from the 2024 NFL Draft for the Indianapolis Colts, edge rusher Laiatu Latu, has selected his jersey number—and it's a good one.
For the number aesthetics crowd, Latu will certainly have pleased them with his choice of jersey number after wearing No. 15 during his time at UCLA.
Latu will not be wearing the same number he wore in college. Instead, the first-round pick will be rocking jersey number 97.
It's a solid number for an edge rusher, and Latu's role should be notable during his rookie campaign even if there is a steady stable of pass rushers on the Colts defensive line.
Who knows, maybe Latu will even be the next great Colts pass rusher to rock a jersey number in the 90s.
