Niyo: Lack of development shows when pressure’s on

Allen Park — Eric Ebron sat in front of his locker and assessed the weekend’s toll on his body, wincing as he rubbed his shoulders.

How did it feel to play nearly every play last weekend against the Broncos?

“It hurts,” Ebron said, smiling. “Especially that Monday, when you wake up. How many snaps did I play?”

The final tally for the second-year tight end was 71 of 74 snaps, or more than 90 percent of the plays, for the second consecutive week. Through three games, he’s the third-leading receiver with 13 catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
