STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

LaPorta's 84 yards, eight catches, and TD justify contract extension amid Wright comparison.

Lions TE proving why team needs to pay him amid stagnating contract extension talks. Finished with 84 yards on eight catches and touchdown; was vacuuming up passes all night. Source: 'LaPorta was vacuuming up passes all night long, finishing with 84 yards on eight catches and a touchdown.' Role evolved from minimal blocker to genuinely impactful; has easily passed Wright as best blocking tight end. Serves as reliable safety valve for Goff, seemingly always ready to churn out yards.
