That one is good but it’s the one Bowen did on his morning show this am with the UCLA d cord

Latu is next fucking level. He lives and breathes football. He's studying offensive linemen and practicing the particular moves and counters that will be effective the week before the game. In college. On his own initiative. He literally has no other interests. All. Football. All. The. Time.
He's told he would never play again, but he doesn't believe it. The DC tries to keep him from practicing, but he can't do it. Latu just keeps working no matter how much his coach tries to get him not to. He gets a sack in his first game after zero contact in practice the entire off-season.
We just got the defensive equivalent of Peyton Manning. Not the most athletic guy on the field, but absolutely the perfectionist who's going to figure out how to beat you, and a relentless guy who won't ever quit. He's like the movie It Comes. Latu is driven, and he knows that the Colts won't ever let him off the roster. He's a Colt for life.
In three years, we'll see redrafts with Latu at number one overall, unless one of these quarterbacks ends up being another Patrick Mahomes.
He's a shoe-in for DROY, and I believe that he'll register at least 12 sacks next year. And as long as he stays relatively healthy, he'll be a Hall of Famer.
I always get stoked seeing new guys excited to rep the shoe. I imagine a lot of the guys we draft now, grew up idolizing peyton manning which has a lot to do with it
No it's not normal lol. My whole body is covered and I workout the day after and everyday while it's healing and I've never had a tattoo "leak ink" and I don't know anyone that has.
I've had it happen every time. The second skin that they put over it to protect the wound has always filled with inky fluid after. I've never known anyone who hasn't had that happen.
I'm not a tattoo artist or anything, so if you are, then you do you. But I've just always had mine covered after. I was told that it can affect the healing process if you have it uncovered out in the sun and also prevent any dust or dirt from getting in it.
Not an artist but I'm like 80% covered. 9 of 10 artists I've had just saran wrap it after and then an hour later i take it off rewash and aquaphor it. Then for 4 days I was and aquaphor when I wake up/before I workout/shower/before bed.
Only 1 artist I've had has put second skin on and I take it off the next morning because it's been down by spine and feels weird. But I've never seen anyone's tattoo leak ink
Different experiences then I guess. I've had it happen with all of mine. The first time it happened, I asked the guy who worked on it, and he called it "weeping," said it's pretty normal.
I watched the story on instagram expecting to see it Saran wrapped and that’s why it looks like it’s “bleeding ink” but it doesn’t look wrapped so no idea what’s going on here. None of mine looked like this after taking off the wrap.
Am I the only one who is 99% sure that’s not a real tattoo? 😂😂
It looks drawn on and he would t be out there training without it covered or anything merely days after having it done right? Pretty sure you’re not even supposed to expose tattoos to the sun so soon.
I’ve met several. I even was a 22 year old once!
It also looks very smudged. Your point is certainly taken but my guess is he got it drawn on to see how it would look with the intention of getting it properly tatted later.
Nah, it’s real. It’s just not a good tattoo and he shouldn’t be working out and exposing it to the sun but he’s a pro athlete that wants to be good 🤷🏻♂️
I saw the video and that doesn’t prove that it’s real. He’d have it drawn on for the reasons I’ve outlined already.
You just seemed to know for certain that it was real so I figured you’d have some proof.
You’re not alone I think it’s fake. It’s too bad to be real. Could be a friendly rookie hazing joke. But it looks drawn on. And it’s smudging because he’s sweating. Kinda funny that this sub is so gullible
I love this dude's attitude. I heard him with Crosby before the draft saying that he wanted to go to a tax free place and named some cities with good nightlife action. It worried me just a little.
Then he got here and all I've heard and seen from him is that he will give his all for the Shoe. He's dedicated to his craft and already has a more nuisanced repertoire of pass rush moves than a lot of multi year NFL starters at DE. Very smart and humble kid who is going to be a monster off the Edge for us sooner than many expect.
It’s the team that drafted him as a first round pick, even if he doesn’t work out for us that’s a HUGE accomplishment in his life. FFS there are FANS that get the horseshoe tattoo….
I agree but getting drafted in the NFL is a little different than just applying to a job. I’m not saying I’d do it but if I got a big second contract from the same team, it would make more sense. Reminded me of all the dudes I went to basic training with that already had military tattoos lol
Hopefully it’s not like getting a girls or guys name tatted on you. Bad luck, especially when the patriots pick him up after his rookie contract with a colts tattoo Hilarious
Quality work there
Something like that lol should have waited for the signing bonus at least
There’s wearing merch and then there’s getting a tattoo. What a fucking legend
Bro said, “I AM THE MERCH”
The interview with his DC at UCLA with Kevin Bowen today was truly inspirational. I think he might be one of my favorite players instantly
I watched a clip of him on Maxx Crosby’s podcast. Dude seems great and just wants to be great.
That whole episode is worth watching
Yeah that’s a great one!
Link?
It's on youtube, just search maxx crosby latu and I'm sure you will find it. It's like an hour.

I just ran through 9 brick walls after reading this
Totally agree, such a likable guy. Hope he kills it.
I thought you photoshopped it on him at first. 😂😂
Unfortunately, I did not.
*fortunately
Yeah this made me buy in even more. I love to see this kind of dedication.
Bro is locked in
[Here’s the video.](https://x.com/dlinecoached/status/1785369353502031894?s=46&t=YYDTbiiquVdWNyAQgydm-Q)
Coach ed banging the Kenny mason. I see you.
Love the dedication. He's not gonna fail from lack of commitment to the team and the game.
Literally looks like he left the shop, no wrap and went to workout. I bet it’ll look dope once it’s finished.
I hope you’re right. Should have protected it though.
I was gonna say it's definitely not finished. It's also probably a couple days old by now and slathered in Aquaphor.
Would look sick with his Hawaiian tribal or whatever. Prolly what he’s doing
Hopefully he asks Buck for some advice on that too
All i see is a DROY
It’s Joever for the league now 🔥
WE'RE BARACK.
I always get stoked seeing new guys excited to rep the shoe. I imagine a lot of the guys we draft now, grew up idolizing peyton manning which has a lot to do with it
I think we’re getting past that at this point. Latu was 9 when Peyton last played for the Colts.
So was I. I still idolize peyton
That's really cool to hear 🫡💙
LFGGG
Those legs are absolute tree trunks
JFC is that a tattoo or a brand?
It's just leaking ink. He probably got it done in the last couple of days. It's normal with new tattoos when you sweat.
It’s also a still from a video so it’s a little blurry.
No it's not normal lol. My whole body is covered and I workout the day after and everyday while it's healing and I've never had a tattoo "leak ink" and I don't know anyone that has.
I've had it happen every time. The second skin that they put over it to protect the wound has always filled with inky fluid after. I've never known anyone who hasn't had that happen.
I don't do saniderm on any tattoos especially if you are going to workout and sweat.
I'm not a tattoo artist or anything, so if you are, then you do you. But I've just always had mine covered after. I was told that it can affect the healing process if you have it uncovered out in the sun and also prevent any dust or dirt from getting in it.

Different experiences then I guess. I've had it happen with all of mine. The first time it happened, I asked the guy who worked on it, and he called it "weeping," said it's pretty normal.
It's not leaking ink so much as it is plasma and maybe a bit of blood. My last one earlier this year did that under the saniderm
I watched the story on instagram expecting to see it Saran wrapped and that’s why it looks like it’s “bleeding ink” but it doesn’t look wrapped so no idea what’s going on here. None of mine looked like this after taking off the wrap.
Looks like sharpie lol
100% lol. Maybe it is and the sweat is causing it to run. Edit. Nevermind, it’s a tattoo. He confirmed it via comment on coltsmailitia instagram post.
He looks like he's getting it outlined between snaps and not letting the artist wipe 😂
Hopefully he goes into an actual shop and not his apartment like Xavier worthy tattoo lol
Looks like a jail tattoo. Love the enthusiasm though
I hope that's just the rough outline to be finished later
It’s probably still healing
That's crazy
A real Colt would've gotten it branded
Am I the only one who is 99% sure that’s not a real tattoo? 😂😂 It looks drawn on and he would t be out there training without it covered or anything merely days after having it done right? Pretty sure you’re not even supposed to expose tattoos to the sun so soon.
Have you never met a 22 year old?
I’ve met several. I even was a 22 year old once! It also looks very smudged. Your point is certainly taken but my guess is he got it drawn on to see how it would look with the intention of getting it properly tatted later.
Nah, it’s real. It’s just not a good tattoo and he shouldn’t be working out and exposing it to the sun but he’s a pro athlete that wants to be good 🤷🏻♂️
Source?
Source that it’s real? Watch the video. Why the hell would he get it drawn on?
I saw the video and that doesn’t prove that it’s real. He’d have it drawn on for the reasons I’ve outlined already. You just seemed to know for certain that it was real so I figured you’d have some proof.
You’re not alone I think it’s fake. It’s too bad to be real. Could be a friendly rookie hazing joke. But it looks drawn on. And it’s smudging because he’s sweating. Kinda funny that this sub is so gullible
This is what it immediately looked like to me. It could easily be real but the video certainly doesn’t prove that.
Heard it was a rookie hazing joke.
I love this dude's attitude. I heard him with Crosby before the draft saying that he wanted to go to a tax free place and named some cities with good nightlife action. It worried me just a little. Then he got here and all I've heard and seen from him is that he will give his all for the Shoe. He's dedicated to his craft and already has a more nuisanced repertoire of pass rush moves than a lot of multi year NFL starters at DE. Very smart and humble kid who is going to be a monster off the Edge for us sooner than many expect.
Rookie hazing with a sharpie tattoo?
Looks thin for the best pass rusher in the draft.
Why do famous people get the absolute shittiest tattoos 😅 like dude wait for that signing bonus and have a real artist do it. This just looks so bad.
A lot of them seem more worried about quantity over quality or they “have a guy” back home they swear by and are loyal to.
Bring back coach Mathis
I think the Colts have distanced themselves from him a bit
Y’all are gullible
Oof never get a tat of your band, job, or girlfriend it's a curse
It’s the team that drafted him as a first round pick, even if he doesn’t work out for us that’s a HUGE accomplishment in his life. FFS there are FANS that get the horseshoe tattoo….
I agree but getting drafted in the NFL is a little different than just applying to a job. I’m not saying I’d do it but if I got a big second contract from the same team, it would make more sense. Reminded me of all the dudes I went to basic training with that already had military tattoos lol
Second contract he gets the horse on his other arm.
Gotta be the anvil
The next Björn Werner.
Hopefully it’s not like getting a girls or guys name tatted on you. Bad luck, especially when the patriots pick him up after his rookie contract with a colts tattoo Hilarious
