No. 4 best NFL Draft pick in Tennessee football history: Jason Witten

2003 NFL Draft: Round 3, Pick 69

Dallas Cowboys, 2003–2017; 2019
Las Vegas Raiders, 2020

Jason Witten was part of an era of Dallas Cowboys football in which the team often looked like a serious contender until the postseason came around and, time and time again, proved the exact opposite. That’s certainly not on Witten, though, who collected 11 Pro Bowl nominations and was named to four different All-Pro teams.

Having played the most games at tight end (271) and amassing 1,228 receptions, 13,046 receiving yards, and 74 touchdowns, Witten goes down as one of the greatest NFLers at the position.
