Steelers Eric Ebron is ranked low on Pro Football Focus’s top-32 tight end list, but here’s why Pittsburgh has hope that things will turn around.
The Steelers have been looking for a long-term answer at the tight end position since the retirement of Heath Miller back in 2015. To fill this void, they experimented by signing and trading for injury-plagued players like Ladarius Green and Vance McDonald. While both were quality talents, they gave Pittsburgh just a brief flash of production before quickly fizzling out and ultimately retiring.
