One of the most controversial first round draft picks that the Detroit Lions have had in recent years was Eric Ebron, who Detroit took with the 10th overall pick in 2014 as Lions’ fans all across the country showered the general management with boos.
And who could blame them? In a year where the Lions had many needs to address, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines, they chose to pick an inconsistent tight end who posted a mediocre 61 percent catch rate in his final year in the Motor City.
But despite the man being hated by most Lions fans for his inability to block and pitiful hands, Ebron thrived in his new situation in Indianapolis, posting 750 yards and 13 touchdowns, proving to be quarterback Andrew Luck‘s favorite red zone target and laughing at all the fans who rejected in the Pro Bowl this year.
