PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
In terms of his NFL scheme fit, LaPorta's combination of size and athleticism make him a good fit for a variety of offensive systems. He has the potential to be a dominant force in the red zone, where his size and catching ability make him a difficult matchup for defenders. He could also be a valuable asset in the running game, where his blocking ability could help open up holes for running backs.
CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS
Mid-Level Starter Potential (60-64)
A solid, dependable starter with the potential to exceed expectations. They have good athleticism and tools but may lack elite traits. While they show flashes of high-level play, they also have some notable weaknesses that must be developed. These players often need 2-3 years to establish themselves.
