Detroit Lions' Eric Ebron: TE additions will help me reach potential Posted Jun 22, 2017 Eric Ebron said having other options at tight end should help him. Last year, Ebron set career highs with 61 catches for 711 yards, but he also missed three games with injuries and couldn't play to his strengths at times because he often was the only tight end on the field. “I think it’s going to play a significant role for me to allow me to do the things that I’m best at.” (Detroit Free Press)
