That means a lot to NFL talent evaluators because Kirk Ferentz has built an NFL player factory. LaPorta has since become one of the best young tight ends in the game for the Lions. He's notched 17 touchdown receptions and 1,615 yards over his first two NFL Source: https://www.si.com/college/iowa/football/detroit-l...
