Welcome back to The Daily Hockenson, home of all the T.J. Hockenson news that’s fit to print!
As you’ve seen in the numerous pictures we’ve put on our site today of the team’s newest acquisition, his uniform number when he was with the Detroit Lions was #88. Unfortunately for him, #88 isn’t available in Minnesota as it was retired for the great Alan Page some years ago. So, there was a little bit of intrigue over what number he might wear, but the team’s official website has kind of squashed that.
According to the official roster, Hockenson will be wearing #87 when he takes the field for the Vikings.
