Sam LaPortaTEDET
After a quiet start to camp, LaPorta had a big step in the right direction on Tuesday. In 1-on-1 drills, he easily beat Chuck Clark to the flats for a short pickup. He had his first explosive day of camp, finding the soft spot in the zone on a corner route for a 30-yard gain during 11-on-11s. He got open on a crossing route against Clark but Jared Goff overthrew him. He capped off a 55-yard drive with a mesh concept touchdown in the flats for 5 yards that gave D.J. Reed no chance to make a play. The source notes there's no real reason to be worried about LaPorta, and it's good to see him start to pick things up toward the end of Week 1.
