The Detroit Lions selected tight end T.J. Hockenson with the eighth overall pick in this year’s NFL draft. It was a hot topic and will be highly debated for the next few years as the 2019 draft class matures and plays for a few seasons in the league. Was Hockenson a good pick?
We won’t know the answer to that question for roughly three years. But after the start of OTA’s this summer, coaches are getting a taste of their new offensive weapon. It also goes beyond Hockenson to the entire group of new tight ends in Detroit.
