SteelKing728 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I'm hoping he can reach the 1000 yard and/or double digit milestone this season. He's certainly talented enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Ever wonder how the league and sports reporting would be different if contract information was private? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, prior to the salary cap and open free agency, I'm pretty sure it all was. I'm sure we'd be astonished at how little those players were paid. The salary cap along with open free agency, for all its potential negative effects on player salary maximization, probably was a boon to their salaries and the sports reporting has also helped in that by making that info easily available to other agents and players.

viking Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Over the last few years Thielen was one of Kirks go-to targets in the redzone (30TDs over the last 3 years with the Vikes) I really expect the lions share of these targets to go to Hockenson this season - I expect defences to do everything in their power to stop JJ leaving Hock 1on1. What's the odd's Hock has over 9.5 TDs on the season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 T.J. Hockenson: “I knew I wanted to be here, we just had to figure out how to make that happen. Very special for me being from Iowa to be here only four hours away from home and be around family and be able able to buy into this city and understand that I’m here for a long time. That was my goal, to be here for a long time. I’m excited to play football and not have to worry about anything else.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) Hock needs 13 catches to pass Rudolph for the most catches by a TE in Vikings history. Given his chemistry with Dobbs, he might hit that mark before the bye week. Edited November 13 by SemperFeist 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 Through 20 games in purple Hockenson has 131 receptions, 1,200 yards, and 7 TDs. Will be fun to watch him climb the Vikings record books... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I have been somewhat critical of Hockenson going to the turf after first contact...maybe it's because I watch RedZone and don't get to see everything. Yesterday, playing through the pain of a rib injury, I will never question his toughness again. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried he might have messed up his back with the way he folded over himself. Then he was back in making more plays. He's a warrior. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
