Tight end evolution creating new look for NFL (The Associated Press)

Eric Ebron exuded confidence from the moment he walked into Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday. Yes, Ebron promised to do anything that any NFL team asked - if the club is smart enough to draft him in May. ''If you need me, if you need a tight end, I'm here on the draft board,'' he said with a daring smile Thursday at the NFL's annual scouting combine. In addition to the incredibly athletic Ebron, there's the bulky 6-foot-2, 262-pound Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who considers himself a playmaking receiver, and Trey Burton, who was recruited by Florida as a quarterback and wound up playing receiver and returning kicks before his college career ended. After playing last season at 222, he still looks out of place with a handful of the other 22 tight ends in Indy tipping the scales at 260 or more.
