Then Sam Laaporta in round six. He was actually the let's see fifth ninth tight end off the board. I know he had the and he had the hip thing but he came back.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Round 6 TE value; hip contusion resolved, no long-term injury concern.

Drafted in round 6 of Hribar's high-stakes $1M draft as the fifth/ninth tight end off the board. He suffered a hip contusion in preseason but returned; Hribar and co-host note it was just a contusion (wind knocked out of him) and teams are appropriately cautious during ramp-up periods with soft tissue injuries expected. The injury is not a long-term concern.
