The 6-foot-6 Latham, who is listed at 342 pounds on the team's current roster sheet, said he ballooned to "365 to 370 pounds" at the end of last year.
Latham said he currently weighs 337 pounds, which was below the team's goal of being in the 340-345 range, and he wants to play at 325 pounds in 2025.
"Looking at a lot of the top tackles in the league," Latham said, "the majority of them are 320-325, or anywhere less, depending on their play style. So, I know they wanted me at 340, but we talked about it, getting to that 325-range is where I need to be."
Latham said he changed his diet after meeting with nutrition coordinator Lauren Silvio, and he got a plan for an ideal weight. He began counting the calories he can consume each day, and he followed a meal plan. He's cut out fast food, and is now eating more fish, and granola bars.
He can tell a difference in the weight loss in the offseason program.
"The conditioning, the running in between," Latham said. "In plays, in drills, being able to finish a lot longer, move a lot more fluid, the foot speed. Everything (feels better) because when you have weight on you it is going to slow you down in your movement."
In addition to his weight change, Latham is also changing positions.
With the addition of veteran Dan Moore Jr., who will play left tackle, Latham is now working at right tackle, a position he played at the University of Alabama.
Latham said he's happy with the switch, and he feels comfortable.
"I'm a team player, so wherever they need me to play, I'll play anywhere," Latham said. "It's all about the team and whatever I can do to help the team win, it's what it's all about it."
