DMN Blog: Witten replacing Shockey in the Pro Bowl

Witten to the Pro Bowl

Jason Witten said he will be making his third straight trip to the Pro Bowl, replacing an injured Jeremy Shockey.

Witten caught 64 passes for 754 yards and a touchdown in 2006, becoming the only tight end in team history to have three straight 60-catch seasons. Witten is one of four tight ends in team history to make the Pro Bowl, joining Jay Novacek, Doug Cosbie and Billy Joe DuPree.

He will join teammates Tony Romo, Roy Williams, Mat McBriar and DeMarcus Ware.

Quick prediction: he will set a Pro Bowl record for catches in a game with Romo as a quarterback.
