Allen Park — DJ Chark's season ended so much better than the way it started.

The former Pro Bowl receiver came to Detroit looking for a fresh start, a better cultural fit than he'd experienced through four seasons in Jacksonville. But after signing a one-year, prove-it deal with the Lions, seeking to rehab his reputation the same way he'd rehabbed the ankle he had broken the previous September, Chark was struggling to get on the same page with his new quarterback, Jared Goff.

Though the first three games of the season, Chark recorded just seven catches for 98 yards.
