Allen Park — T.J. Hockenson's trade to the Minnesota Vikings came after a fifth straight loss in a Detroit Lions uniform. Naturally, he was excited about the opportunity his change of scenery presented.
"I'm excited to be part of a program that we can do something with and we're looking beyond 17, looking down the road, for sure. ... That's really what we're here to do is go somewhere and win some games," Hockenson said.
"That's kinda the first time I've been able to say that. So I'm pretty excited."
If only he could have toughed it out just a little bit longer.
