Lions Could Use Three Tight Ends Often
6 years agoThe Detroit Lions could use three tight end sets often based on the way they're rolling personnel into practices this week. Jesse James, rookie T.J. Hockenson, Michael Roberts and Logan Thomas are all big bodies and can create mismatches based on personnel. The most intriguing of those names is Hockenson, who was a first-round pick and went in the top 10. Detroit is likely to use three tight ends mainly on short-yardage downs and in the red zone, but Hockenson has tremendous upside and could be a touchdown-dependent, low-end TE1 in his first season in the NFL.
