From the episode

I think that like what we see from him is so much more upside than a lot of the tight ends who go before him. When healthy, Sam Laporte has just been an absolute difference maker.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Sam Laporte has more upside than higher-drafted TEs; difference maker when healthy.

Has significantly more upside than many tight ends who go before him; when healthy, he's been an absolute difference maker in the Lions offense; Jared Goff is projected to lead the league in passing yards and touchdowns, yet Laporte isn't getting the same excitement as Amon Ross St. Brown and Jameer Gibbs.
