From the episode
I think that Laporta is potentially the lowest possible tight end who can do that... Drew Petsing coming in as the offensive coordinator... Sam Laporta, 20 touchdowns in 42 regular season games... They scored 31.4 points with him, 24.8 without him.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Laporta lowest-ranked TE with TE1 upside; elite efficiency and Petzing's track record support.
Laporta is positioned as potentially the lowest-ranked tight end who can deliver tight end one overall outcomes. With Drew Petzing as the new offensive coordinator (from Arizona where Trey McBride had 147 and 169 targets in two years), Laporta has elite efficiency metrics: 20 touchdowns in 42 regular season games, third-best catch rate, sixth in yards per game, fourth in yards per route run, third in yards per target, sixth in yards per reception. The Lions score 31.4 points per game with Laporta on field vs. 24.8 without him.
