Robert Garcia’s 2023 Final NFL Mock Draft

Anyone who has listened to 600 ESPN El Paso over the last 30 years is familiar with the name Robert Garcia. The longtime El Pasoan was our NFL Draft Guru and he even published a pair of annuals prior to the 1994 and 1995 draft.

These days, Robert is living in Austin and balancing a full-time job with his newest passion, comic books. He created his own comic book, Retribution, which involves a love story reminiscent of classics like Spawn, Crossed, and The Crow. Garcia is the writer, creator, and letterer of Retribution. For more information on Retribution, you can follow Robert on his official Instagram page.
