Through his first 14 years in the NFL, tight end Jason Witten has established himself as one of the most productive players in Dallas Cowboys' history.
The 35-year-old added another prestigious team mark to his career by passing Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin as the all-time leader in receiving yards.

He also holds the team records for receptions, most catches in a single game (18), and most consecutive games played (219).
He also currently ranks second in league history behind Tony Gonzalez for most career receptions and receiving yards for a tight end. On top of that, Witten is currently seventh overall all-time in catches in NFL history.
The 10-time Pro Bowler has stacked up quite an impressive resume over his career that should put him on track to become a sure-fire Hall of Famer. Even if he doesn't pass up Gonzalez, he is one of the most productive tight ends that the league has seen and helped further transform the tight end position into being a huge part of the passing game.
