Footballguys on Sam LaPorta

LaPorta trending toward top-5 TE if healthy; new OC may increase targets.

LaPorta is trending in the right direction with his herniated disc injury recovery and is on track for a big contract extension this summer. Despite caution about back injuries in general, the source sees LaPorta getting back to top-five tight end range if healthy. New OC Drew Petzing's influence from the Cardinals' offense that force-fed Trey McBride could mean similar treatment for LaPorta.
