Tight ends and the players in that position have been part of a renaissance lately. Tight End University has shown that the players in that position are willing to work together to improve each other because they realize the football ecosystem they are part of.
Vikings tight end TJ Hockenson’s 2023 season ended prematurely, but not before he had a chance to prove himself worthy of the team’s extension. The veteran tight end tore his ACL in a controversial tackle attempt against the Lions, and is now expected to return sometime midway through the 2024 season.
