The Cowboys went on such a tremendous run in the 1990’s, the ‘Cowboys great’ could be any number of players. Furthermore, numerous Cowboys have already seen their sons sign big-time college scholarships. Emmitt Smith’s son, E.J., played at Stanford and Texas A&M. Michael Irvin II followed in his dad’s footsteps at The U. You’re probably already aware of what Deion Sanders’ kids have been up to.Now it’s Jason Witten’s turn to sit back and enjoy watching his son go through a similar, and yet much different process, than what he went through when he signed with the Tennessee Volunteers in Y2K. After three years in college, Witten was drafted in the third-round by the Dallas Cowboys. Other than being fitted for his Hall of Fame jacket, the rest is history.
Witten’s son, Cooper Witten, plays for Liberty Argyle, where his father coaches. Despite all of this symmetry, there’s one major difference—as a linebacker, Cooper is charged with covering tight ends.
