Sam LaPorta, you mentioned Sam LaPorta, could he be the most productive rookie tight end in 2026 if he finds the right spot feel or [ __ ] it? >> Oh, I totally feel it because he has strong hands. He's a big dude. He can go up and win the ball. He has some skill after the catch for a big guy...he can block, you know, in line...he has very strong hands to go up and win it as well if you want him to run up the seam and I think there's enough speed and quickness to his game to win in that fashion in the NFL.

LaPorta could be most productive 2026 rookie TE with right fit; strong hands and seam ability.
Sam LaPorta could be the most productive rookie tight end in 2026 if he lands in the right team fit. He has strong hands, can win the ball downfield, possesses skill after the catch for a big guy, can block in-line, and has enough speed and quickness to win on seam routes. An ideal scenario would be Atlanta using him as the inline tight end in a two-tight-end, run-heavy look, allowing Kyle Pitts to operate as a detached option.
