In the midst of an exhilarating win for the Cowboys, tight end Jason Witten became the 12th player in NFL history to reach 1,000 plus career receptions. The 1,000th catch came in the second quarter and social media erupted in support of Witten, only the 2nd tight end to make this elite list. On Twitter, several former and current athletes were happy for 82 and wanted to have the chance to congratulate him and celebrate the moment.
@dallascowboys congrats to my friend Jason Witten making the 1000th catch club! Keep putting in work!
