LaPorta reminds me a lot of Gronk. Not necessarily in terms of freak speed and size but in his sure-handedness, dominating in the blocking game, and always getting open in clutch situations. I'm so excited to have him on our team

[@joshlewis575]

Every time I see him run out of a tackle it screams Gronk. Dudes gonna be a superstar

[@standardyeepz]

@@joshlewis575agreed. couldn’t happen to a nicer kid too. what a friendly guy

[@The33rdTeam]

Future hall of famer... Sam LaPorta??

[@rigel1632]

LaPorta’s 40 is faster than Gronk.

[@mystery9527]

Sam is faster fs

[@keithgadson]

I said a few days after the draft... I think LaPorta and Campbell are gonna be my favorite Lion players very soon. LaPorta is gonna change how we look at TEs!

[@jimbobcooter9874]

Because they're white? You're a racist

[@jimbobcooter9874]

Jk lmao

[@fightforever]

Good breakdown! Laporta has been great with contested catches all year!

[@jxjarvi]

Outstanding film study. Detailed and comprehensive. Identified the St. Brown angle, and made the genius combination of Johnson and Goff and his receivers very apparent. Great work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stephencalvird7276]

this is better analysis than any of the major networks! Bravo!

[@jaybrick8973]

Hes playing like a pro bowler in his first year wouldn't be surprised if he makes it

[@donbur1553]

Love these he's so good a breakdowns

[@The33rdTeam]

Appreciate it!

[@theodery2712]

Another great job, it makes watching live TV better as you understand the intricacies of the game. To see how the coaches view the game and their schemes, then how that plays out in the efficiency of the execution by the players, especially the real good ones, wow.

[@sttosin]

5:23 gotta be careful with that marker 😅😂😂😅

[@ItsYoot]

hes elite, hoping the best for him

[@connor7088]

5:24 Bro....

[@kevinanderson7593]

Great breakdown! Thanks!

[@torreylaff]

Great breakdown. New sub.

[@lukata77]

He's already my favorite all time toght end, plays like a 7 year veteran and just seems to get open all the time and doesn't drop

[@florida1289]

The Lions offense is stacked. They have so much high-end talent along with a nasty oline (when healthy they destroy dlines) If Goff can distribute without turning the ball over they could win it all. Probably a year away on D. Hutchinson needs help.

[@twizyyy7437]

I completely agree, the teams the lions face all they have to do is double hutch then no pressure

[@millieparker772]

COACH YOU Sound Sick !!!!!....You Have To PLAY like You Wanted Along Time Ago....WIN WIN WIN...THEY HAVE TO PLAY THEIR TALANTS....GIVE THEM A CHANCE ........Without your TALANT....GIVE THEM A CHANCE.......BUT Great Interview ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊....GO DETROIT LION'S....and Congratulations to my Second TEAM ❤❤❤❤❤❤..MBLESS YA 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@Jeff.Teague]

Go Lions 🦁

[@luniz4209]

I was pretty impressed by Saints #27, going up against good CBs shows the benefits of a guy like LaPorta who can get good matchups and beat zone.

[@daycased8200]

LaPorta is the reincarnation of Cloyse Box.

[@turbosaari]

It’s almost like he always smells the blitz breaks his route and finds space right before Goff gets sacked

[@dushanpopovski2856]

Jamo, people Jones, Raymond,Brock Laporta, st brown, Josh Reynolds Gibbs, Montgomery , Antione Green,Craig Reynolds more that enough to detain

[@caveman126]

literally gronk 2.0

[@DetroitEast]

Best pick of brad draft

[@Meritor15]

how can LaPorta be good? The Lions REACHED to get him? Mayer was right there? Why did the Lions take LaPorta over Mayer?

[@HBTLions]

Good troll

[@Daviddakidd]

In the game against the raiders Mayer- 2 receptions for 19 yards Laporta-8 receptions for 57 yards

[@donbur1553]

Lol don't forget lions reached for Gibbs jack Campbell also 😂 😊

[@apeacefulmindx]

@@HBTLions I think he's being sarcastic, Lions fans were saying we didn't need a tightend. Then they were saying Mayer was the best TE in the draft and the Lions reached.

[@Meritor15]

@@apeacefulmindx uhh Lions fans? maybe some, but it was the entire NFL dogging on the pick

[@trumpsagenius6914]

We had the best draft in the league not even counting hooker

[@clmag8158]

Most of Laportas success comes from St Browns attention

[@primecash144]

Nope

[@The33rdTeam]

It certainly helps to have a dawg like Amon-Ra on the field with him

[@OldishGoalie]

U a poor man's Paul Finebaum?? 😂😂😂

[@epfsixucsoip2926]

It is so insanely annoying how he doesn’t just let the play finish before he rewinds. I don’t wanna have to watch you talk for seven minutes before I can see how the play ends.

[@gregpeoples2020]

Goff is trash. If he was close to good this team wins a superbowl for sure.
