#10 – Jason Witten, Tight End

The Cowboys tight end played with a sprained knee and two sprained ankles at one point this season.

While his fellow leaders Tony Romo and Dez Bryant were ruled out with long term injuries, Witten played through the pain barrier for meaningless games.

Witten may not have the athleticism, speed and grace of some of the leagues top tight ends but he still seems to be improving year on year even at the age of 33.

Ranking 30th overall among tight ends, Witten was regarded as one of the top ten in pass blocking and only six players were involved in more snaps than him.

While Bob Lily is awarded the nickname Mr Cowboy, it’s an honor that’s equally fitting for number 82.
