The Steelers announced Monday that they have signed tight end Eric Ebron to a two-year contract.
Ebron was drafted 10th overall by the Detroit Lions in 2014. He spent four seasons with the Lions and recorded 2,070 yards on 186 receptions with 11 touchdowns.
The TE signed a free agent with the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 and had a career-high 66 receptions for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. The following season, with quarterback Andrew Luck retired, his numbers declined. Ebron was limited to 375 yards and three TDs after an ankle injury landed him on injured reserve in Week 12.
Though Ebron is not a blocking TE, he is a red-zone target that should compliment Vance McDonald well in Pittsburgh.
