Former Dallas Cowboys tight end Gavin Escobar -- who was picked in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft -- has died ... after an apparent rock-climbing accident in California.
He was just 31 years old.
Officials say they received a report of two injured rock climbers at Tahquitz Rock in Idyllwild at around 12:25 p.m. on Wednesday. When they made it to the scene, they say they found that both victims had died. Escobar was ID'ed as one of the hikers -- a 33-year-old woman, Chelsea Walsh, was ID'ed as the other.
