“I don’t think anyone has ever doubted his dedication,” Witten relayed to reporters Wednesday afternoon following an autograph session at Dunkin’ Donuts. “I do think there’s a perception that goes along with that and something to be said for that. Now, obviously, I don’t think that takes away anything that he does on the football field. He’s the first one in; he’s the first one to leave. He’s been that way for a long time.
