Former North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron's rare athletic ability has made him one of the most-anticipated attractions at this year's NFL Scouting Combine, and evaluators might be a little surprised when they see him at the event.

 

Ebron, who declared for the draft a year early, has put on "some significant weight since his junior season in an effort to be a better blocker," according to Bleacher Report's Dan Pompei. Pompei cites a "veteran front-office man," who said Ebron "isn't as fast as he was." However, the source also said "he still is pretty special."

Cant see why it'll hurt him.

he was already 245, so now a 6'4 250+ TE that is athletic is hell. wasnt a bad blocker before gaining weight

[SOJA]

being a recent grad of chapel hill I've seen this guy around a lot in person. let me tell you- he is a freak like Vernon Davis- if he got even bigger holy hell

 

 

I know TE isn't our most pressing need, but if he is there when we pick you have to take him based on potential- guy could be a game changer

[Riverboat Ron]

Ebron will go top 10, count on it.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

This time of year its like daytime soap opera gossip. Although interesting, this is most likely nothing.

If he goes to the Broncos Fox would only use him to block anyway.

Just watch, He's going to show up close to 260 and still post one of the fastest times.

Yeah like he did with J.Thomas.

Just watch, He's going to show up close to 260 and still post one of the fastest times.

 

man, if he goes and runs a mid 4.6 at 260 some pounds, good grief almighty.

[Ken]

Meh,this won't matter if he rums fast at the combine and the workout.

Dude is a freak, would be amazing if we get him but that would take a fall even crazier than Star's.

[ctrcat]

No team will regret taking him, regardless of how high but I would still rather have ASJ-just as I would rather have Gronk (#42 overall pick) than Vernon Davis (#6 overall pick).

[4Corners]

good. fatten up a little bit so you can drop to us. 

[Kuech the Sneak]

Imagine he dropped to us, I would think tha gettleman would pull the trigger
