Over the past month or so, one name who is flying up mock draft boards has been tight end T.J. Hockenson. Equally useful as a blocker and pass catcher, the Mackey Award winner out of Iowa ranks between 15 and 25 on the majority of Big Board prospect rankings.
After receiving positive reviews at the Combine in Indianapolis, Hockenson has cemented himself as a legitimate possibility to be picked in the Top 10 of the Draft in April. Holders of the number eight pick, the Detroit Lions have a major talent gap to fill at the tight end position.
