Sam LaPorta lucked out and had a seemless transition from Iowa's scheme to the Lions because they are similar. I mentioned somewhere Oregon's rush offense is very similar to the Bengals so a guy like Jackson Powers-Johnson would have an easier transition.

Great news!

I kind of wish he played more. I really only noticed him the last few games, but I thought he looked ok from what I saw.
