CG: someone like Sam LaPorta. He got off to a solid start in his first couple of seasons, but I don't know if he's in the 'elite' tier of tight ends in the NFL or anything like that. Add to that the fact that he's coming off a year where he dealt with back issues

LaPorta not elite tier; back issues raise decline concerns despite youth.

Christopher Gates questions whether LaPorta belongs in the 'elite' tier of tight ends despite his solid start in his first couple of seasons. Gates cites back issues from the prior year as a concern that could cause decline, though acknowledges LaPorta's youth may mitigate the impact. This suggests LaPorta's current draft ranking may overvalue his tier relative to his actual production and health trajectory.
