Positives - Comments from FBG.com: The last year or two have seen a Renaissance of the tight end position, and Jason Witten has done his part to further the cause. Last season, Witten finished 2nd among tight ends with 87 receptions and 980 yards. At 6’5”, 261 pounds, Witten is not only one of the better receiving tight ends, but he’s also an excellent blocker. In the red zone (60% of his receptions went for touchdowns) he emerged as the Cowboys most reliable receiving option.

Negatives - Comments from FBG.com: Witten doesn’t possess the athleticism of Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates, so you’re not going to see him make too many people miss in the open field or break off too many 50+ yard receptions. He is also adjusting to his 3rd starting quarterback in as many years, which shouldn’t be a problem given his talents, but it’s worth noting.
