Ebron doubled his rookie production in 2015, finishing with over 500 yards and 5 touchdowns. Those certainly aren’t Pro Bowl numbers, but without the 6-foot-5 Johnson around anymore, Ebron is the biggest target on the team. Golden Tate will likely lead the team in yardage but his size doesn’t make him much of a red-zone target. Marvin Jones is taller but more of a deep-threat. Quarterbacks prefer bigger guys in the red-zone where the coverage is tighter. Just a few seasons ago, undrafted rookie tight end, Joseph Fauria, had seven touchdown catches. Fauria was a few inches taller than Ebron, but didn’t have anywhere near the athletic ability.
