STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

LaPorta's zone-blocking and combination blocks are versatile elements in Lions' run game.

Tight end featured in zone-blocking scheme where LaPorta slides inside with a lead fold block into the play-side zone scheme, similar to the CRUNCH concept but with different blocking action; also noted for strong combination blocks with Penei Sewell on power concepts, initiating double-teams before peeling off to block second-level linebackers.
