The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Latimer spent most of his rookie season on the sidelines. The 6-2 wideout caught just two passes for 23 yards on 37 offensive snaps. Latimer admitted he struggled keeping up with Peyton Manning's pace of play. "It took me too long to actually catch on," Latimer said. "I was in the playbook, but I could have done even more. When I actually got it, it was too late. It was just way different (than college). I would know the play, then Peyton would change it. Then I'd get to thinking too much and play slower."

Diehards Line: Entering his second season the coaching staff expects Latimer to make a big jump. The wideout is slated to take more snaps on the outside in three-receiver sets, with Emmanuel Sanders bumping to the slot. After spending time working with Manning this offseason, Latimer believes he's ready to take advantage of the opportunity. "I am pounding it into my head. I have to make sure I get it especially by the time of minicamp," he said. "You don't want to be out there looking like a fool. ..." Given his physical attributes and overall talent level, Latimer will be of great interest to fantasy owners if he can demonstrate he's on the same page as Manning in coming weeks.
