It’s taken an uncomfortable amount of time, but the Detroit Lions finally have representation on ESPN’s “top 10” at each position. T.J. Hockenson made the cut at tight end, where he was ranked 7th in ESPN’s polling of various NFL coaches, players and executives.
Hockenson ranked fifth in the same polling a year ago. The inability to stay on the field for all 17 games and his lack of eye-popping numbers on a poor Lions offense in 2021 caused him to slide a little.
