Article from IndyStar on why Ebron isn't playing more. I get that he may not be the best blocker, but he's been pretty unstoppable as a receiver. The coaches really need to work him in more, especially when the O goes stagnant like it did in the 2nd half last week.

If they're that concerned about his blocking, run 3 TE and split Ebron out wide. He has the speed to create matchup problems there, and he's better than any WR not named T.Y. Hilton on the team.

Maybe it is just me, but I have always thought he was slow....

A 4.6 40 isn't slow at 6'4" 250.

It's a lot of momentum for a corner or safety

Here's his NFL draft profile, which in retrospect seems pretty accurate (except, of course, the criticism that he provides only "ordinary touchdown production"):

Ebron had 5 catches overall, including 2 for TD's.

Believe it or not, Ebron tied Dallas Clark for the franchise record for TD receptions by a tight end in a single season (11) ........ and the Colts still have 5 games left to play.

Hall-of-Famer John Mackey had 9 TD receptions in a 14-game season for the Baltimore Colts in 1966.


In this article, Ebron talks about his admiration for Clark when he was growing up.

It was only one play, but I loved it because ........ as much as dumb football drives me up a wall, smart football deserves to be complimented.


With the ball deep in Texans territory late in the 2nd quarter, Ebron showed excellent situational awareness ........ in addition to getting down to the ground to catch a ball that was thrown low by Andrew Luck, he then rolled over towards the goal line, knowing that it was near.


First and foremost, catch the ball ........ secondly, know where you are on the field (near the first down sticks, near the sidelines, near the goal line, etc.)

That ball was thrown behind him, he made a great adjustment to catch it which caused him to go down. Reminded me of that Harrison play where they forgot to touch him down and he ran for a TD.

Ebron's TD reception on the very first drive of the game opened the scoring for the Colts.

He nearly had an amazing catch for another TD later in the first half, even after the Justin Reid jarred the ball loose from him with a big hit. Fortunately, Luck threw a TD pass on the very next play to teammate Dontrelle Inman.

Reid paid the price for that hit too. Ebron just walked back to the huddle, Reid didn’t get up for a while.
