Pat Tillman Award
NOTES:
Slowly picking up these Topps 2020 certified autographs and I couldn’t pass this one up for 3 bucks.
Starting 5 contests he’d catch 16 passes for 176 yards.
After the league folded, he retired and became a fireman in California.
NOTES:
I was pretty terrified of Gavin with the Fleet as I remembered him from his time with the Cowboys. Pretty sure he gashed the Commanders for a few good catches during the AAF opener in San Antonio.
EPITAPH:
9/28/22- Gavin Escobar was tragically killed in a mountaineering accident as an old, degraded fixed sling, around a tree broke during unpredictably inclement weather, causing he and Chelsea Walsh to fall several hundred feet to their deaths at the base of Tahquitz Rock. He was only 31.
There he had over 100 tackles in 3 straight years, including 129 as a senior.
A sneaky 10th round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1989.
Saw playing time both on special teams and at ILB.
Totaled 41 total tackles, a sack, a pass deflection, and a forced fumble in his rookie campaign.
A key backup, he played sparingly over the next few seasons.
Lost a good portion of his 1993 and all of his 1994 seasons to a knee injury.
Returned again to a key role as a special teamer and backup linebacker.
Signed with the Bengals in 1998 and finished the regular season as a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
Entered the college coaching ranks in 2003 working with Youngstown State.
In 2010, Jerry became a defensive assistant with the Steelers.
Then was moved to the inside linebackers coaching position with the team in 2015.
In 2023, joined Duquense as a defensive assistant.
ACCOLADES:
All Rookie Team 1989
NOTES:
Jerry only had 4 cards or so, but made out pretty good with these two. Topps always had a deep cut or two and Jerry qualifies as such in one of these rare action shots.
Celebrating the game, the players, the cards, and the autographs for over 25 years.
