Ebron probably strengthened his stock Saturday by running the 40 in 4.6 seconds, according to times released by the NFL. White had the fastest 40-yard dash time of all linebackers with 4.42 seconds, while Bush wasn’t far behind at 4.44 seconds. Eric Ebron didn't run as fast as he expected, but his 4.60 clocking in the 40-yard dash still was second-best among tight ends. The 2014 first-round pick underachieved during his time with the Lions, but a breakout season in 2018 saw him post a 66-750-13 receiving line.

Eric Ebron clocks second-best 40 time among tight ends Sat Feb 22, 2014 UNC tight end Eric Ebron vowed that he would beat former Tar Heels teammate Gio Bernard's time in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he couldn't do it. However, he is a big man who runs a 4.6 40 yard dash and can leap out of the building. But Bernard is a 5-foot-8, 202-pounder, and Ebron is 6-4 and weighs 250 pounds. Bernard was clocked at 4.53 seconds at last year's combine; Ebron turned in a 4.60 clocking Saturday. Bernard was clocked at 4.53 seconds at last year's combine; Ebron turned in a 4.60 clocking Saturday. Steelers fans saw enough of the wildcat last season so I’m not suggesting they put Ebron in the backfield.
