## Resource

Sam LaPorta is primed for a breakout season with the Detroit Lions in 2026, as new OC Drew Petzing is expected to unleash his tight ends—much like how Trey McBride thrived under similar schemes. LaPorta’s dip last year coincided with offensive chaos after their OC left, but with Petzing at the helm, LaPorta could see a major rebound, potentially earning All-Pro honors if healthy. Meanwhile, defensive tackle Alim McNeill, also recovering from injury, could be the missing piece that turns the Lions into true contenders.
