The Rise of Sam Laporta: Is He the Next Top Tight End in the NFL?

but now over the last couple years he's been able to be be on the field be a lot more available be a lot more consistent and he's finally reaching that potential that we have year in and year out for the last couple years the last two years I think he's finally started to turn around and I think or turn it around and I think that there's no he has the talent to be a number in in the top five but given every year we have this hype and then this let down I got him right just right outside of my top five um with the number with the numbers that the top five players have been putting up I just it's hard to put them in that top five I know Sam leapa who who is in my at five out of uh Detroit playing for Detroit Lions Iowa tight end I feel like Iowa just continues to keep pumping them in and out um when it comes to tight ends I have another Iowa tight end on in my top five as well and so I feel like at this point Iowa can stake the claim of being tight andu but Sam La pora um comes in has a sneaky sneaky good rookie season 10 touchdowns 889 yards 86 receptions
