Tight End

Jason Witten: Dallas Cowboys TE

Height: 6'5" Weight: 262 lbs Age: 27

Witten has become one of the league's best all-around tight ends, displaying all the skills of an elite player. He is a very reliable pass-catcher, reeling in eighty one throws in total, which would lead to 952 yards and four TDs during the 2008 season. His production declined from 2007, a season in which Witten had the eleventh best season for any tight end in NFL history, as far as receiving statistics go. I think this year there will be less distractions and road blocks for him, so we can expect Jason to make up for a marginal season, by his standards of course. He is really known as a blocker though, something that not all tight ends can do. He is big and powerful, and has a ferocious and unrelenting will. His versatility sets the bar high for the other tight ends in the league. Witten may not have had his best season in '08, but it is safe to say that he will be back on par for the upcoming season.
