In recent seasons, Jason Witten has continued to cushion his stellar resume with more records he breaks and more Hall of Fame tight ends he surpasses. Witten is currently the #2 TE with receptions of 1,020 behind Tony Gonzalez who retired with 1,325 receptions.
This upcoming season Witten could become the Cowboys’ all-time leading receiver. Michael Irvin retired with 11,904 yards and Witten is currently sitting #2 all-time with 11,215 yards. Witten would need 690 yards this season to overtake Irvin’s team record.
Over Witten’s thirteen years in the NFL he has averaged 863 yards per season, so the record is definitely in striking distance.
