    In a couple years I believe Sam LaPorta will be considered the best TE in the game. Another brilliant move by Brad Holmes. Trades Hockenson and drafts Sam at a fraction of the cost of what TJ got paid by the Vikings.

      BH looks for certain qualities in the guys he drafts. If you look at every pick he’s made, they’re all solid character guys. They come across as genuinely good dudes, aside from being good players. From Penei, Iffy, McNeill and Saint in 2021, Hutch and Jamo in 2022, Jahmyr, Campbell, Branch and Sam, they’re all for lack of a better word, “happy”. They’re happy playing football. They’re having fun. Whenever they’re interviewed, they’re cheesing the entire time. It seems like the type of locker room a player would love.
