He's very dynamic in the passing game, big body, great body control, great hands, really good route runner, uses his body at the top of routes. But, I think his ability to do pass pro, to play in the run game, to play off the ball and on the move or outside the core is really impressive. I think there's very few guys in the league that can do all of those jobs at such a high level.

Petzing praises LaPorta's rare versatility across passing game, pass pro, run game, and route running.

Offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who previously helped Cardinals tight end Trey McBride set NFL records, expressed enthusiasm for Pro Bowl tight end Sam LaPorta's versatility; Petzing noted LaPorta is 'very dynamic in the passing game' with 'great body control, great hands, really good route runner,' and praised his ability to execute pass pro, play in the run game, and work 'off the ball and on the move or outside the core'—capabilities Petzing says 'very few guys in the league' can perform 'at such a high level,' which 'does put a lot of stress on a defense.'
