Hawkeye fans and members of the media covering the 2018 football team have had no shortage of hot takes about tight end Noah Fant and his role in the Iowa offense this year (myself included). However, while Fant managed to navigate the noise and produce an All-Big Ten caliber season, it was his fellow tight end TJ Hockenson who had the biggest impact on the Hawkeye offense this year. Not only did Hockenson establish himself as the best tight end in the conference, the sophomore accomplished an even more impressive feat by posting arguably the single best season of any tight end in program history.
