The Cowboys have been very fortunate the last 20 years at the tight end position. It all started during the 2003 NFL Draft, where the franchise would use its third-round pick on University of Tennessee tight end Jason Witten. For the better part of two decades, the legend of Jason Witten was born.
In the 2018 season when Witten stepped away from the game briefly, the Cowboys needed to add a tight end to the roster. They drafted Dalton Schultz out of Stanford University in the fourth round. Schultz’s first two years in the league weren’t noteworthy from a statistical perspective, but eventually he found his groove.
