2 years agoDetroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra (knee) suffered a fractured kneecap in Week 16 last year, but he has taken part fully in the team's offseason training program and was the team's go-to tight end during mandatory minicamp last week. Zylstra has nice receiving skills and showed his ability to separate at the top of his route. He took advantage of the extra work with T.J Hockenson limited and some of the rookies out with injury, catching a few touchdowns in team periods. Zylstra should have plenty of confidence heading into training camp as insurance behind Hockenson this year. The Lions also have tight ends Brock Wright, rookie James Mitchell and Garrett Griffin, though, so Zylstra is buried on the TE depth chart.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
