What is there to say about Jason Witten?
He’s going to go down as one of the greatest tight ends to play the game.
Witten is an eight time pro-bowl selection. The Tennessee native also has an impressive list of records that he holds, including:
- Most receptions by a tight end in a game (18)
- Most receptions in a single-season by a tight end (110)
- Most career receptions by a Dallas Cowboy (806)
Witten has been a model of consistency during his NFL career, and shows no signs of slowing down. Witten, at age 30, is coming off one of the best years of his career and should continue to add to his legacy in 2013.
