IRVING, Texas -- For one final time earlier this morning, Jason Witten turned left into Valley Ranch in his Cadillac Escalade and felt the butterflies in his stomach for a practice.
It’s only June and it’s only a minicamp, but that feeling has remained the same for 14 years. Witten was 20 the first time he pulled into Valley Ranch, a rookie unsure how long he would last in the league. He’s now 34, one of 13 players to have 1,000 catches in NFL history, and has played in 10 Pro Bowls.
Thursday will be the Dallas Cowboys' final practice at Valley Ranch, their practice home since 1985.
