Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts

Eric Ebron, 26, has spent his six NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts. He’s one of the more interesting prospects who could be hit or miss for the Patriots. He missed the final five games last season due to an ankle injury, but his health has been consistent throughout his NFL years.

Ebron’s 2018 season is what sticks out the most, where he reeled in 66 catches for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns. He’s a proven talent as a pass-catcher and would potentially come at a cheaper price than the first two tight end prospects. He’s had a history of dropping passes though, and the extent of his ankle injury isn’t known heading into the 2020 season.

The Patriots definitely can’t count him out as a target, but there are safer options out there.
