ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- T.J. Hockenson took off from the line of scrimmage. It was a red zone period early during Detroit Lions training camp and moments like these are why the former Iowa tight end received such an investment from the franchise three months ago.
Hockenson worked his way into the end zone. Backup quarterback Tom Savage let the ball go. Hockenson was in the middle of traffic, though. Had to jump up. And he outplayed fellow rookie Will Harris, coming down with a touchdown.
