UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu led the Bruins last season in tackles for loss and sacks last season, and still feels he has lots to prove for this upcoming season.
“We lost a special guy,” Kelly said, his voice catching.
“Everyone goes through hard times, everyone goes through adversity,” Latu said, “and just to know that you can overcome that, we can all do hard things.” “That’s just the way Billy was,” Kelly said. “His courage, his toughness, his humility in that last year was an amazing thing. I think the biggest thing is — I said this at the funeral — is that man’s biggest fear isn’t death, man’s biggest fear is insignificance. Billy wasn’t afraid because of how significant his life was, the impact he had on so many people. He was at peace with, if this is what God selected for me, I’m good.
