One NFC scout was impressed by tight end Sam LaPorta's record-breaking Pro Bowl rookie season for the Detroit Lions.
"He's f--king awesome," the scout said, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. "Everything looks super easy and natural to him. Great feet. Great in the red zone. Strains every play, whether blocking or running routes. Plays the game the right way, snap in and snap out. Strong for his size and so instinctive."
