IRVING, Texas -- Ask Bill Parcells a question about Jason Witten and this is the first response you get:
"You mean everybody's all-American, blond-hair, blue-eyed boy wonder?” Parcells said.
Parcells was the Dallas Cowboys head coach when Witten was drafted in the third round in 2003. Witten still carries what Parcells taught him in the first four years of his career. It’s what has helped make him who he is as a 10-time Pro Bowl tight end.
On Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, Witten will set the Cowboys’ record for most consecutive games at 197, breaking the mark held by Bob Lilly since 1974.
