A long way to go until cutdowns, but we can file this away for later. Apparently 49ers rookie TE Cameron Latu is having such a horrendous camp that he’s in danger of getting cut even as a late 3rd round pick. For example, he fumbled away his only catch in last week’s game and had two drops in practice yesterday.
The notable connection here is that he had 12 TDs and almost 800 yards over the last two seasons at Alabama with O’Brien and new TE coach Will Lawing. If things keep going poorly in SF, he might be an option for the Patriots via heavily discounted trade, waiver claim, or even just a practice squad spot.
