ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- After becoming a free agent early this year, veteran tight end Gavin Escobar was happy to hear from his agent that the Kansas City Chiefs had called and were interested in signing him to a contract.
“I like how tight-end friendly [the Kansas City offense] is,’’ said Escobar, who eventually signed with the Chiefs. “That’s for sure. We use a lot of multiple tight end sets, and they throw it to us, too. They move us around a lot, so we’re in good positions [to make plays].’’
The Chiefs indeed do keep their tight ends busy.
