Sullivan: Witten’s Legacy More Than Just Statistics Or A Defining Play
https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/...han-just-statistics-or-a-defining-play-458496
The numbers are transcendent, absurdly so considering Jason Witten has 147 more career receptions than Dez Bryant and Rob Gronkowski combined. And yes, the video of him running down the field minus the helmet is a fun watch and says so much about his mindset as a player.
Still, I think the legacy of his career, of his life to this point, is so much more than statistics and a singular defining replay.
There are lessons, ideals really. And not just pertaining to football. Sure, there’s something to be said about just showing up every day, no matter what the circumstance, be it work, school, family, football. Nothing in life has ever been accomplished by not showing up. Never mind that Witten missed just one game in 15 seasons. He never missed a day of work and was usually among the first to arrive and last to leave the team’s facilities....
