The Detroit Lions won't have Calvin Johnson lining up at receiver this fall.
That means other players will have to step up in the passing game -- including Eric Ebron.
The third-year tight end has produced mixed results in his first two seasons since the Lions surprisingly drafted him 10th overall in 2014. He caught 47 passes (out of 69 targets) for 537 yards and five touchdowns last season.
Since Johnson won't be around and Golden Tate now steps in as the team's top receiver -- with deep threat Marvin Jones coming in from Cincinnati -- Ebron knows the team has to move on and do something different.
