After a breakout rookie year, the young tight end is now dominating headlines following what insiders are calling “an absolutely electric training camp performance.”

From making one-handed grabs in double coverage to taking reps with the first team in unexpected formations, LaPorta is looking less like a sophomore — and more like a future All-Pro.

But it's not just his play that’s raising eyebrows.

Sources close to the team claim the coaching staff is building packages around LaPorta, hinting that Detroit may unleash him in a brand-new offensive role this season — something fans and analysts didn’t see coming.

 

🚨 “He looks like a hybrid of Travis Kelce and Deebo Samuel out there,” one scout told local media. “And if that’s real, the league isn’t ready.”

Could LaPorta be Detroit’s secret weapon for a deep playoff run?
Or is this just camp hype?

Whatever it is — you’ll want to keep watching.
