NFL scouts are pretty high on Ebron, and it's easy to see why on that play. The 6'4, 245 pound junior from Greensboro (N.C.) set school records for receptions (40) and receiving yards (625) by a tight end as a sophomore last year. He has four catches for 59 yards and a touchdown already today, and is likely to see even more targets from Bryn Renner as the game progresses.
