Latu has joined a formidable pass-rushing unit alongside established players like Kwity Paye and DeForest Buckner.

Despite playing only 53% of defensive snaps, Latu has made an impact, ranking as the 4th-best rookie in quarterback pressures with 33. His contributions include four sacks and three forced fumbles, showcasing his potential as a key player for the Colts as they approach a critical stretch in the season.
