Say hello to the new favorite target for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. His name is Sam LaPorta.
The Lions rookie tight end had a huge game against the Atlanta Falcons in the Week 3 win, finishing with eight catches for 84 yards and catching his first NFL touchdown on a 45-yard pass from Goff. In the second quarter with the game tied at three, the Lions were moving the ball down the field and got to the Atlanta 45-yard line, and Goff found LaPorta wide-open deep down the field for the touchdown and the lead.
