T.J. Hockenson 2022 Outlook
Hockenson ended last season on injured reserve because of a thumb injury and also had his rookie year cut short by an ankle injury. The talented tight end was well on his way to surpassing his Pro Bowl numbers from 2020 before the injury. He had 61 receptions for 583 yards and four scores in 12 games. He caught 67 balls for 723 yards and six touchdowns as a Pro Bowler in 2020. Overall for the season he finished third on the team in receptions, second in targets (84) and second in receiving yards. According to Fansided.com, Hockenson was an obvious match for Jared Goff's short area throw tendency when they were together on the field last year. And Hockenson was a reliable target at that, with just one drop. According to Fantasy Data, Hockenson led all NFL tight ends (minimum of 10 contested catches) in contested catch rate at 73.3 percent. Second was Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, at 48.3 percent. So Hockenson is plenty capable. So, while the Lions have gone to great lengths to add play-making talent to their receiving corps, landing wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown in last year's draft and Jameson Williams in the first round this year, Hockenson reamains a core player. Expect him to continue delivering solid totals even with an improving group at wideout.

T.J. Hockenson 2021 Outlook
It's often said that tight ends have one of the biggest jumps to make from college to the pros, and that their second season might be the best signal of how their NFL career will unfold. The Lions hope that's the case for Hockenson. New coordinator Anthony Lynn's Chargers teams made good use of Hunter Henry, and the coach said upon arrival in Detroit that he thinks Hockenson is just scratching the surface of what he can do for an offense. The 2019 first-round pick had 32 catches for 367 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie, but jumped up to 67 catches for 723 yards and six touchdowns during the 2020 season. "T.J. did some nice things last year, and I think his ceiling is even higher," Lynn said. "I know he made the Pro Bowl and all that, but he can play even better. I like what I saw on tape." With Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones among the receiving assets leaving over the offseason, there's a lot up in the air about how the Lions' passing offense will look. However things shake out at wideout, Hockenson's versatility should also provide relief for new quarterback Jared Goff, who leaned heavily on his tight ends while with the Rams.

T.J. Hockenson 2020 Outlook
OC Darrell Bevell told reporters in June that Hockenson (ankle) is back to running routes but might not be quite 100 percent yet. Bevell added the second-year TE is "well on his way to being there" and that the Lions are comfortable with his progress. So, should we expect a big second-year leap after a fairly quiet rookie campaign? Considering the position Hockenson plays and that he missed four games with injury -- something that stunted his statistics -- expecting a big jump in 2020 is not unreasonable. As ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein pointed out, if Hockenson's numbers -- 32 catches, 367 yards, two touchdowns (which included a 131-yard outing in Week 1) -- were extrapolated over a 16-game season, his receiving yards (490) would have been top-40 among rookie tight ends all time, and his receptions would have matched George Kittle's as a rookie (43). In other words -- yeah, there's reason to believe Hockenson could have a much better Year 2. Not the least of which is a healthy Matthew Stafford, who should have no problem making use of Hockenson's speed and athleticism.
