T.J. Hockenson Jersey — Vikings Big & Tall 3X-6X, XLT-5XLT
Most tight ends are one or the other — a blocker who catches a little, or a receiver who blocks a little. T.J. Hockenson is both, a 6-foot-5 target who helps move the pile in the run game and still runs routes like a wideout. His #87 Minnesota Vikings jersey is the one purple fans reach for, and this page pulls together the T.J. Hockenson jersey big and tall range in one place: Vikings gear runs in 5XL for select jerseys, and 6XL and XLT–5XLT apparel is available as well. If you have been hunting a big and tall T.J. Hockenson jersey that actually fits, the full run is here, with plain sizing help so you order the right one the first time.

T.J. Hockenson Jersey — Minnesota Vikings #87
Shop All T.J. Hockenson Jerseys & Apparel Available
The Hockenson jersey comes in the Vikings’ purple home colors and the white road version, and both carry the #87 the way it looks on the field at U.S. Bank Stadium. A fit note that saves people a return: the Nike game jersey has a tailored, athletic cut and runs to 3XL, while the Pro Line version is the big and tall cut — roomier through the chest and belly, and it is the one that carries the extended sizes and tall cuts listed below. Minnesota also sells custom Vikings tees and hoodies that let you put Hockenson’s name and number on them, which is a good route if you want the #87 look in a softer shirt for everyday wear.
T.J. Hockenson Jersey Sizes — Start With the Tall Cuts
Hockenson is a tall man playing a tall man’s position, so let’s start where tall fans usually get stuck: the length. The extended tall sizes — XLT (XT), 2XLT (2XT), 3XLT (3XT), 4XLT (4XT) and 5XLT (5XT) — add body and sleeve length without just widening the shirt. If you are six-foot-two or better and regular jerseys keep ending at your belt instead of below it, order your usual number with the T on it.
The width run covers the standard rack first: S, M, L and XL. From there it steps into extended sizes — 2X (2XL), 3X (3XL), 4X (4XL), 5X (5XL) and sizes up to 6XL, written 6X (6XL). One thing worth knowing before you click: 3X and 3XL are the same size under two different labels, and NFL Shop stocks the spellings as separate listings — the 3X link below filters the jerseys, the 3XL link filters the wider apparel range, and the selection can differ a little between them. If your size looks picked over under one spelling, check the other before you give up on it.
Women’s Vikings jerseys, Hockenson’s included, come in S, M, L and XL, plus 2X, 3X and 4X, in cuts shaped for women rather than shrunk-down men’s versions. There are no per-size women’s links on this page — the women’s departments at both shops are linked in the shop section below.

Does the T.J. Hockenson jersey come in 5XL?

Can I get a big and tall T.J. Hockenson jersey in 6X?

What is the difference between the Nike and Pro Line Hockenson jerseys?

Interesting Facts About T.J. Hockenson
Hockenson is an Iowa kid through and through. He grew up in Chariton, Iowa, stayed home to play for the Iowa Hawkeyes, and won the John Mackey Award there as the nation’s top tight end. Detroit drafted him 8th overall in 2019, and the draft world knew what kind of player he was before he ever took an NFL snap — one longtime evaluator called him the best blocking tight end he had ever evaluated, which almost never gets said about a pass catcher taken in the top ten.
In 2022, Detroit traded him to Minnesota — inside the division, which tells you how unusual the deal was. Trades between rivals are rare because nobody wants to face their own trade twice a year, but the Vikings wanted a tight end who could stay on the field for every snap: block on first down, run the seam route on third. That is the whole Hockenson package, and it is why the #87 jersey keeps showing up in the stands at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Hockenson was a headline pick in his class, and our NFL draft jerseys page rounds up the big names from that draft in the same extended sizes. Under center for Minnesota in recent seasons, Joshua Dobbs’ Vikings jersey got its own run of attention, and his page covers it. His old Detroit teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown has a page of his own here too — the two of them came into the league as Lions, even if only one of them still is. For the full league picture, the big & tall NFL jerseys page covers every club’s size run from 3X to 6X and XLT to 5XLT, and Hawkeye fans can go back to where it started with our Iowa Hawkeyes page. You can also follow Rivalry Sports on Facebook for new big and tall arrivals.
