OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys tight end Gavin Escobar sprinted off the line, perhaps the fastest he had gone all training camp. He started on the left side of the line and ran diagonally across the field toward the right corner of the end zone.
Seeing the safety flat-footed as Escobar approached, quarterback Jameill Showers fired the ball to the end zone. The pass couldn’t be too high or too low. It had to lead Escobar just enough. As Escobar reached the goal line in full sprint, he reached, stretching his 6-foot-6 frame as far as he could.
