Uncertainties surround the 2020 NFL season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one of those being who will be the top tight end for the team?
Vance McDonald probably comes to mind because that's who the Steelers intended it to be since 2017 when they picked him up. But the Steelers picked up another tight end during the 2020 off-season that could be in the running.
Eric Ebron signed a two-year deal with Pittsburgh, acquiring $12 million throughout his contract. That's the second-biggest per-year contract unrestricted free agent in team history.
The former Lions first-round pick is coming off somewhat of a disappointing season with the Indianapolis Colts. Mostly from injury, Ebron is looking to start fresh in Pittsburgh.
Ebron has already made it very clear that he's a fan of Ben Roethlisberger's and he's showing his excitement on his social media with his new teammates too.
It's safe to say that @Ebron85 is excited to play on the same team as @JamesConner_ & @TeamJuJu! pic.twitter.com/fVtk5dyNm8

He posted on Instagram to show off some of his team gear.
“I been fans, you feel me,” he says in the video. “Now I’m about to play with my dawgs."
Ebron now on his third team, seems to already be fitting in pretty well. Team chemistry will help this 2020 Steelers team to have a killer offense.
