Tight End (3)

  1. Eric Ebron
  2. Vance McDonald
  3. Zach Gentry

The Steelers added a big piece to their offense with Eric Ebron. It was only the 2018 season that he had a banner year as a 2019 Pro Bowler. He has the potential to be the Steelers go-to receiver in 2020.

The Black & Gold will also have Vance McDonald who could feature in 12 personnel very well. There is less pressure this year for him to stay healthy with Eric Ebron on the roster.

Zach Gentry will also return to the team in 2020. The hope is he can take a step forward in 2020 although no major candidate is threatening his spot on the roster.
