Detroit Lions: T.J. Hockenson can prove his value in 2020

Tight end T.J. Hockenson’s first season with the Detroit Lions was lackluster. Although his first career game showed us the potential he brings to the Motor City, posting six receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals, the rest of his rookie campaign left us wanting more.

In Week 12 of the regular season, Hockenson suffered an ankle injury that put him on injured reserve. He ended his season with 32 receptions for 367 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games played. It was a season that doesn’t sit to well with Lions fans, but the numbers were to be expected.
