A lot has been said about Jason Witten’s absence from Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California.
Witten was a cornerstone for the Cowboys. His leadership prowess can’t be replicated, but many a player are going to try to fill in for what he did on the field.
Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin, Rico Gathers, and Dalton Schultz are the players to watch, and so far it seems like it’s a two-way competition between Swaim and Jarwin; however, there’s one name that everybody always looks toward at the position – Rico.
Gathers initially made the team’s 53-man roster last season but was quickly put on injured reserve where he spent the entire season, so we’ve never seen him truly back up Jason Witten.
Rico Gathers says it takes a group to fill Jason Witten’s shoes
