Dallas Cowboys: What role will Rico Gathers play in 2017?

Little did the Dallas Cowboys know what they were getting when they drafted a tight end out of Tennessee in the third round of the 2003 NFL Draft named Jason Witten. The now 35-year old is considered one of the most complete tight ends to ever play in the NFL and a surefire first ballot Hall of Famer.

During his 14-year career, Witten has missed a total of one game due to injury. And that was during his rookie season. A leader on and off-the-field, the veteran tight end is one of the brightest stars on a Cowboys roster full of them.
