The Detroit Lions selected tight end T.J. Hockenson with the 8th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he certainly made an impact on the Lions right out of the gate.
His 131 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in his first regular season NFL game were the most in a debut for a tight end in NFL history.
