Biography

Christopher Jason Witten was born on May 6, 1982, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is an American football coach and former player, currently the interim offensive coordinator for the Oklahoma Sooners.

He played as a tight end in the National Football League (NFL) for 17 seasons, primarily for the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers and was selected by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2003 NFL draft. He ranks second in all-time career receptions by an NFL tight end, trailing Tony Gonzalez, and third in career receiving yards among NFL tight ends, behind Tony Gonzalez and Travis Kelce. Known for his toughness and reliability, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time.

He first retired in 2018 and became a color analyst for ESPN's Monday Night Football; he returned to the NFL for the 2019 season, reuniting with the Cowboys, and joined the Las Vegas Raiders for the 2020 season. He then retired again, signing a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Cowboys.
