Eric Ebron not stewing about zero catches in NFL debut

Posted Sep 12, 2014
Eric Ebron's NFL debut didn’t go exactly as planned. Ebron played just 20 snaps and didn’t catch a pass in Monday night’s 35-14 victory over the New York Giants, but the Detroit Lions’ rookie tight end said he was pleased with his performance. “I think I played, overall, good,” Ebron said. “You’re still working out kinks and things like that, and it comes with time."
