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.

T.J. Hockenson 2019 Outlook
Hockenson landed in the best possible situation to take advantage of his skills when the Lions tabbed the Iowa TE with the No. 8 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. So says ESPN's Matt Bowen. With Darrell Bevell taking over the play-calling in Detroit, Bowen expects the Lions to build out the run game. Bowen went on to suggest that's where Hockenson fits in, a tight end with the old-school traits to finish as a blocker on the edge. Plus, Hockenson has the athleticism to work the middle and produce after the catch. He's a detailed route runner who can create separation on crossers or use his imposing frame to make contested catches. In fact, Hockenson was the recipient of the Ozzie Newsome and John Mackey Awards, which are granted to the nation's best tight end. He's fast off the line, maintaining a solid 4.7 40-yard dash speed, and is one of the more blemish-proof prospects in this class. In 2017, he recorded 24 receptions for 320 yards and three touchdowns. The following year, he tallied 49 receptions for 760 yards and six touchdowns. While expecting a rookie tight end to be fantasy relevant goes against the grain, Hockenson is a Day 1 starter who could exceed expectations.
