Detroit Lions may have bigger plans for T.J. Hockenson, fresh off a Pro Bowl season

A breakout second season may be just the beginning for Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson, whose role should only increase this fall after the team's offseason of change.

“T.J. did some nice things last year, and I think his ceiling is even higher,” new Lions offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn said earlier this month. “I know he made the Pro Bowl and all that, but he can play even better and that was the encouraging part. But I like what I saw on tape. He’s a good football player.”
