Summary
The Detroit Lions are poised for a tight end revolution this season, as new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing embraces the “13 personnel” scheme—three tight ends on the field at once—to confuse defenses and create mismatches. Returning stars Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright, both recovering from injuries, are expected to lead the charge, joined by veteran Tyler Conklin as a versatile third option. But don’t sleep on rookie Miles Kitselman, who’s already making waves, or versatile Jackson Meeks, who’s splitting reps at receiver and tight end. With the Lions potentially keeping four tight ends for the first time, training camp will decide who makes the final roster—and whether this group can become the engine of a new offensive identity.
