Now cleared for training camp, he’s poised to make an immediate impact, having posted a stellar 32-10 record when active. A top-5 tight end in receiving yards and elite target efficiency before his injury, LaPorta’s all-around impact — from offense to pass protection — is irreplaceable. His return could be the catalyst the Lions need to reclaim their winning ways. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
