9. Eric Ebron, tight end – Pittsburgh Steelers

A big fan of The Walking Dead, Eric Ebron is well aware of how the zombie apocalypse works in AMC’s undead drama. Previous knowledge of dealing with walkers puts him one step ahead of many other NFL players who could have made this list.

As you can see, Ebron told his followers on Twitter that he doesn’t want anyone bothering him when one of his favorite shows is on.

But that’s not the only reason Ebron would be a great survivor. Being a tight end, he has to have a great blend of power, speed, and agility to help his team’s offense move the ball down the field and score points.

Despite having a breakout year in 2018 where he scored 13 touchdowns and racked up 750 yards on 66 catches, Ebron has been willing to reduce his role in offenses if the feels it will benefit the team as a whole.

An unselfish player who can make plays when needed, Eric Ebron might not be a leader in the zombie apocalypse but he would be a wonderful supplemental player or trusty asset to communities on The Walking Dead.
