Escobar, 6’6”, 254 lbs., ran a 4.84 in the NFL combine. NFL.com compared him to long-time Peyton Manning target Jacob Tamme.
NFL.com analysis:
“Excellent hands catcher, very natural. Locates ball over shoulder very easily, picks the target out of the air effortlessly. Runs the seam like a wideout, long strides and eats up ground.”
“A straight-line mover after the catch, very little wiggle or straight-up tackle breaking.”
