Tight end Eric Ebron has been a pretty high-volume player at his position almost since he first came into the league as a first-round pick. He was targeted 450 times in 83 games during his first six seasons prior to signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, during which he saw another 91 targets in 15 games.
This year, he has only been targeted 13 times in the passing game through the Steelers’ first six contests, and has played fewer than half of the team’s offensive snaps as rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth, and even Zach Gentry, chip into those opportunities.
