Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron said he hopes to become a safety net for QB Matthew Stafford in 2016 since WR Calvin Johnson decided to retire.
Footballguys View: Ebron is wise to predict a larger role on offense….now we’ll see if he can actually do something with a potential increased opportunity. He’s a talented tight end with the speed to take the top off the defense, but Ebron will likely be remembered as a player picked before Odell Beckham Jr. (Giants) than for anything he ever does in his pro career.
