Some of the NFL’s best tight ends made major strides in their sophomore campaigns. Can T.J. Hockenson follow suit for the Detroit Lions?
In his first NFL game in the 2019 season opener against the Arizona Cardinals, T.J. Hockenson burst on the scene with a record-setting debut. The first-round tight end recorded six receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown for the Detroit Lions in Week One.
After Hockenson’s production waned throughout the rest of the year and he was shelved by an ankle injury for the final four games, the Lions are hoping he can follow in the footsteps of some of his celebrated peers in year two.
