​

A former Cowboys tight end has died in a rock climbing accident in California. Gavin Escobar, 31, was one of two individuals identified by Riverside County sheriffs after an incident within the San Bernardino National Forest.

Escobar was a second-round draft pick in 2013 out of San Diego State. He played four seasons with the Cowboys, compiling 333 yards and eight touchdowns on 30 receptions over 62 games played.

Unable to make much of an impact on the same roster as Jason Witten, Escobar was released after the 2016 season. He went on to stints with the Chiefs, Ravens, Browns, and Dolphins, but didn’t amass any further stats. It was the end of Escobar’s NFL career, though he went on to play for the San Diego Fleet in the short-lived AAF in 2019.

Escobar, a New York native, had become a firefighter in Long Beach earlier this year and lived in Huntington Beach.

Gavin Escobar leaves behind a wife and two children.

Yess! and chances are a guy that tall wears a huge shoe size...

Yes shoe size generally tends to be proportional to height and in this pic you can see his sneakers are huge size at least 46 EU size.
