Sam LaPortaTEDET
Pro Bowl tight end had quiet start to Lions training camp but showed significant improvement on Day 6. After being on perceived pitch count and not looking explosive in early 1-on-1 drills, LaPorta had his first explosive day of camp: easily beat Chuck Clarks to the flats for short pickup in individuals, found soft spot in zone on corner route for 30-yard gain during 11-on-11s, and capped off 55-yard first-team drive with mesh concept touchdown in the flats against D.J. Reed. One incompletion on crossing route was due to Jared Goff overthrowing him. Rock Ya-sin notes no real reason to worry about LaPorta despite slow start.
