Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is down in Mexico this week for the NFLPA Classic Golf Tournament, and Kay Adams caught up with him for a five-minute conversation. While the interview was a lot about the tournament and friendly rivalries with tight ends like Packers’ Tucker Kraft, LaPorta did give a little insight into Detroit’s change at offensive coordinator this offseason.
The Lions lost Ben Johnson, who took the head coaching job with NFC North rival Chicago Bears. LaPorta admitted it’s a tough loss for the team.
“It hurts, of course,” LaPorta said.
