Despite playing with one of the league's top quarterbacks, he appeared in just 13 games. That was a career low for him. He managed only seven catches for 101 yards. His fewest touches since 2019. Now the 30-year-old has signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency. He joins as the number three Titan behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. Before the chargers, Conklin had steady production. He caught 50 or more passes over four straight seasons split between the Vikings and the Jets. Conklin sounds upbeat about turning things around. He believes one-off-year does not define his career. He is ready to contribute in any way, from passing to blocking or even special teams. The Lions' new offensive coordinator, Drew Petsing, loves using three Titan sets. He caught more of those plays than anyone in the league over the past three years with the Cardinals.

He wants to help the Lions win however he can, whether mentoring younger guys or stepping up on the field. Fans will watch if he rebounds in this fresh start.
