UNC in the NFL: Eric Ebron reports to Colts camp ‘lighter’

Tight End Eric Ebron is at a big point in his young NFL career. After being selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, Ebron spent four seasons in the Motor City but it was a disappointment as the tight end never broke out to be that pass-catching weapon Matthew Stafford needed.

Ebron decided to sign with the Indianapolis Colts this offseason, hoping for a fresh start and to turn things around in his career.

The tight end will move on from Stafford and play with Pro Bowl quarterback Andrew Luck who is recovering from a major neck injury.
