The SI 64: No. 25: Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina

Posted Apr 16, 2014
The new wave of TE production around the league has left teams searching for players who can produce like Eric Ebron. We’re talking about the top talent at this position, with plenty of room to grow. With average speed, Ebron would be a viable NFL prospect because of his size; with 4.6 speed and the post-catch abilities he displayed at UNC, he gives off the appearance of a future Pro Bowler.
