I just looked up Hock's stats, and 2 years, 99 catches and under 1K total yards. for the top TE in his darft.

I don't think the coaches have TE as a priority. Full stop. Maybe we should temper expectations, thinking that it will be a focus/outlet for Trevor to rely on.

During at least a couple of media sessions Darrell Bevell did in his 2 seasons with the Lions, he discussed the subject of getting the ball to the team's TEs. These comments, before the start of the 2020 season, stood out as Bevell's take:

James looking to be more involved in offense after down year (detroitlions.com)

Along with Hockesnon, Logan Thomas and Isaac Nauta – the Lions tight ends who caught a pass last year – Detroit's tight ends accounted for just 19 percent of all the receptions on offense last year.

Bevell wants to see that number increase in his second season running the offense.

"I talked to Jesse about getting Jesse more involved, but all those guys need to have opportunities to touch the ball," Bevell said earlier this offseason. "We have to able to find a good mix to keep the defenses honest. Just like last year, you'll see a tight end have a big game, you'll see a wideout have a big game. Sometimes that's scheme. Sometimes it's matchup. It's what the defense is presenting to us and who they're putting on guys.

"So, I think you'll still see it move around in terms of who gets the ball, but definitely it's something I've talked to those (tight ends) about getting them more involved where they're showing up and having games like that."
