The Detroit Lions just made a smart move by signing veteran tight end Tyler Conklin, a proven target with elite blocking who could be the key to unlocking Drew Petzing’s multiple-tight-end offense. After a quiet year with the Chargers, Conklin brings four straight seasons of 50+ catches from the Vikings and Jets—and now he’s battling Brock Wright for the No. 2 tight end role. With a solid track record and a chance to prove himself after missing time with injury, Conklin’s camp performance could determine whether he secures a starting spot—or even pushes for the No. 3. This is one battle to watch closely as the Lions gear up for the season.
