From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Christopher Jason Witten[1] (born May 6, 1982 in Elizabethton, Tennessee) is an American football player who currently plays as a tight end for the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL. He played college football at the University of Tennessee. In his first of three years at the University of Tennessee, Witten went from being a defensive end prospect, to a record breaking tight end, due to a shortage at the position.[citation needed] He went on to post school records for receptions (39) and receiving yards (493).[citation needed]
As a child, he was a contestant on the Nickelodeon game show, Nickelodeon GUTS.[citation needed]

My family calls me by middle name so I would assume he either prefers it or that's what his mother wanted.

Me too. Family and people I grew up with all use my middle name too.

My mom's side of the family is all from Elizabethton and apparently he's just as awesome in the community as he is on the gridiron.

Its a pretty common tradition in the south for a boy to go by his middle name.

Right after I was born we were living near my grandparents in Alabama, and apparently everyone started calling me by my middle name. Fortunately my older sis stopped it, and it never stuck. Thank God.

well i guess it makes some sense but what would do for me this is my full name no joke : Timothy Robert Eddy Barry (Eddy is my mothers maiden name and Barry is my Fathers last name and they were never married so I go by both or just Eddy)

Clearly this is the most important part. GUTS was the shiz. I wonder if he got a piece of the Aggro Crag.
