The Steelers under Ben Roethlisberger have never been a tight end heavy offense, not even when the best tight end in franchise history, Heath Miller, was manning the position. So when the Steelers signed Eric Ebron, a receiving tight end who carried a reputation of being a bit of a head case signed with the team, most people expected him to be the #2 tight end, logging snaps mostly on passing downs and in the red-zone in two tight end sets.
That’s not what has happened.
