Lions' Eric Ebron reflects on rookie self: 'I thought I knew it all'

Posted Jun 28, 2017
Eric Ebron's ability to progress each year up until his fourth season, where he's still only 24 years old, earned him a fifth-year option from the Lions this spring. It's a season that will pay him around $8.25 million in 2018. It's not a pay rate he's yet earned with a full body of work, but that's not what option seasons are often about. It'll tell something to the Lions and to himself. (MLive.com)
