There are humans, and then there's Jason Witten.

What the All-Pro has accomplished for the Dallas Cowboys in his 13(+) year tenure is magnificent, and reads like the Magna Carta:

Nine pro bowl selections

Two-time All Pro

Most receptions in franchise history (1,041)

Most TE receiving yards in franchise history/third all-time NFL history

Most catches by a TE in a season (108, NFL record)

Most catches by a TE in a game (18, NFL record)

Second on Cowboys all-time receiving list (11,404)

Career fumble ratio of only 0.576% (six fumbles in 11,404 touches)

Even more unbelievable is his durability. The 34-year-old tight end has only missed one game in his NFL career.

One game...out of 211.

His sole miss came due to a broken jaw suffered his rookie year against the Arizona Cardinals. Witten had surgery wherein a plate was placed into his jaw and he was back on the field to play the hated Eagles the following week. So playing through a lacerated spleen in the 2012 season was simply par for the bionic course.

The 34-year-old now sits only 500 yards away from grabbing a title many thought was untouchable: the Cowboys all-time record for receiving yards which is held at 11,904 by Hall of Famer Michael Irvin.

Witten is still operating at a high level in 2016 averaging 47.25 yards per game, which paces him out to surpass Irvin by halftime of the Week 15 contest vs. Tampa Bay...with room remaining in the season to cushion his lead.

How Witten is able to remain healthy/available in a league that sees players dropping like flies in recent years is mind-boggling, but then again so are his career numbers and achievements. His seven receptions against the Niners in Week 5 came at an integral turning point in the game and again he helped land the Cowboys a needed win, as he's done so often throughout his career.

Off the field, his character is impeccable.

Witten is a staunch philanthropist and his involvement in the community is bar none. Not a single instance of negative press has ever come within sniffing distance of Mr. Cowboy, Jr., as he's a beacon for what a professional football player (and human being) should be.

The Cowboys are fighting tooth and nail to land players like Witten and Tony Romo a deserved Super Bowl ring, but even without one Witten will one day be wearing a gold jacket standing in front of his Canton bust.

And he'll do it on the first ballot.
