Draft Rewind 2013 – Gavin Escobar – Dallas Cowboys

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about GAVIN ESCOBAR: San Diego State, 6057 254 4.84. Junior entry. Three-year starter with above average athletic ability. One of the top athletic move and shift tight ends in the country. Tall and rangy. He led the Aztecs in receiving. Talented big red zone target. Excellent catching radius. Plays faster than timed speed at Combine. Has the frame to gain 10-12 pounds of good weight. Good body control to come out of cuts smoothly with a burst to separate. Can make the contested catch in his strong hands. Needs to improve his base and strength as an inline blocker. 2012 stats: 42-543, 12.9 ypr, 6 TD. OSR:7/19. Medical exclusion at Combine – left shoulder sprain. Third/ fourth round. (A-33 5/8, H-9 3/4, BP-12, VJ-32). CAMP NOTES: Gavin Escobar is one of the top athletic move and shift tight ends in the country. He gives the Cowboys a talented big red zone target to take the pressure off Jason Witten. He has good body control to come out of his cuts smoothly with a burst to separate. In order to be the heir apparent to Witten, he will need to improve his base and strength as an inline blocker.
