Glad to see Witten still supporting Dallas from afar.
But once the Dallas Cowboys selected him in the second round of this year’s draft, Schoonmaker found himself looking into Jason Witten. He knew of Witten, who was named to 11 Pro Bowls in his 16 years with the Cowboys and became the franchise leader in receptions (1,215) and yards (12,977).
“Just scoured the internet, pretty much,” Schoonmaker said. “Tried to find all that I could.”
A family connection led to him getting Witten’s cellphone number. Before last week’s rookie minicamp, Schoonmaker texted Witten.
