Why T.J. Hockenson figures to be a big part of the Detroit Lions offense in 2021

ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Anthony Lynn has still been settling into his role as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator, but he’s already seen enough of one of his future players to get a sense of how good he can be.

Lynn has spent time digging into the game of Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson, who had 67 catches for 723 yards and six touchdowns last season. Lynn believes Hockenson will continue to grow, an ascent that already has made him one of the NFL’s Top 10 tight ends.

“T.J. did some nice things last year and I think his ceiling is even higher,” Lynn said.
