Jason Witten Shows Off Basketball Skills
By Zach Ragan
Former Tennessee Volunteers tight end, and current Dallas Cowboys tight end, Jason Witten was in Durham, NC on Wednesday night for Duke’s senior night matchup against Wake Forest.
Witten, who was in attendance with his Dallas teammates Tony Romo and DeMarco Murray, as well as his head coach Jason Garrett, took in a Duke practice prior to the Blue Devils’ game on Wednesday evening.
The former Vol, clad in a Duke shirt and shorts, showed off his basketball skills, backing down Garrett and scoring on the Dallas head coach.

Witten, who was present at Tennessee’s season opener against Utah State last season, appeared to enjoy himself quite a bit at the game. At one point he cheered loudly for a Marshall Plumlee acrobatic layup.
I'm not sure anyone enjoyed that Plumlee layup more that Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, who is also in attendance here tonight

Don’t worry Vol fans, Jason Witten is all Vol.
Even the fact that Dallas employs Derek Dooley can’t deter Witten’s love for Tennessee.
