Detroit Lions draft UNC tight end Eric Ebron
Posted May 8, 2014
The athletic, rangy tight end has become all the rage in the NFL, and the Lions now have one in Eric Ebron after after making him the No. 10 overall pick Thursday. Ebron is an athletic pass-catching tight end in the mold of San Francisco’s Vernon Davis, a constant threat to make the big play. Ebron established UNC school records for receptions (62) and receiving yards (973) by a tight end last season.
