Sam LaPorta — Tight End — Iowa
LaPorta is a great receiving tight end who was used at a variety of positions (regular tight, outside, slot, H-Back). He’s shown the ability to run a lot of different routes and he runs them efficiently, especially for someone his size. He possesses good athleticism and I love his speed cuts as they’re smooth and quick. He is a natural hands catcher (although he did have 6.5% drop rate which is a little high) who knows how to use his body to shield the ball from defenders. He is not a great blocker, as he lacks great strength, takes poor angles and doesn’t engage properly with his hands.
