Witten is coming off a career year of 94 catches for over 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns. It was the second consecutive year over 90 catches for the seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time First Team All-Pro selection. He is one of the best receiving options in the league for his position, and an elite blocker to go with it.
