It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions had trouble with their tight ends in 2018. With Eric Ebron no longer on the team, the Lions struggled to find a productive replacement. Levine Toilolo performed admirably, and even graded out as Pro Football Focus’ best pass blocking tight end. However, that is pretty much the beginning and the end of tight end accomplishments from last season.
Lions general manager Bob Quinn took on most of the blame for the unit’s issues, admitting at the end of the season that the team swung and missed on some free agent tight ends.
