STM Take

2017 DROY plus four Pro Bowls plus 2023 tier 1 (#2) STTM peak plus the Ohio State 11th overall draft pedigree establishes Lattimore as one of the highest-pedigree CBs of his generation. The 2024-2025 tier 5-6 collapse from the 2023 elite ceiling flags the structural late-career decline plus the change-of-scenery context. The 2026 question is whether Lattimore returns to tier 3 territory with Washington or whether the elite chapter is closing.

Lattimore came out of Ohio State as the New Orleans Saints' 1st-round pick (11th overall) in 2017 and won the 2017 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He has made four Pro Bowls (2017-2019, 2023) and was traded to the Washington Commanders at the 2024 trade deadline. His STTM career runs tier 5 (#40) in 2021, tier 1 (#6) in 2022, tier 1 (#2) peak in 2023, tier 5 (#38) in 2024, and tier 6 (#47) collapse in 2025.

Strengths

  • 2017 DROY plus four Pro Bowls plus 2023 tier 1 (#2) STTM peak plus the 11th overall draft pedigree establishes top-tier Hall-of-Fame CB résumé.
  • Ohio State 11th overall draft pedigree plus nine years of NFL elite production gives him real career foundation.

Concerns

  • 45-spot regression from tier 1 (#2) in 2023 to tier 6 (#47) in 2025 confirms the structural late-career decline is real.
  • Multi-year injury history (multiple hamstring, ankle absences) puts continued durability question on every 2026 projection.

What to watch: Whether Lattimore returns to tier 4 or better in 2026 with Washington, the threshold for confirming the late-prime ceiling holds.
