One day, probably after this season, Jason Witten is going to hang the cleats up, and he’s actually going to stay retired. When he does, the clock will begin ticking. Then, once he’s eligible, his spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame will be certain. One day, when Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz calls it a career (hopefully, that will be a while), he’ll be on Canton watch as well.
As some of the old school players used to say, game recognizes game. These NFL stars can see the greatness in one another.
