It’s been almost two full years since the Detroit Lions traded tight end T.J. Hockenson to the Minnesota Vikings, and it’s probably fair to say that it worked out for both sides. The Lions got a 2023 second-round pick and 2024 third-round pick, while the Vikings got Hockenson, a 2023 fourth-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick. Detroit now has Sam LaPorta breaking records at the tight end position, while Hockenson is coming off his most productive year despite missing the final two games due to an injury.
This week, Hockenson made another appearance on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast and was asked to reflect on the trade.
