A Page from the Writer's Notebook: Ten Questions for Jason Witten

"Jason Witten is a beast."

I've heard it, read it, and even said it. The man is one of the best players in the

league, and yet one of the most silent when it comes to talking about himself. As a

fan, I think that's an admirable quality, but as a journalist, there's a few things I'd

like to ask him about.  

1) If you could play with any NFL player, current or past, who would it be, and why?

2) Has your time in the NFL been what you expected it to be, and how do you

envision the rest of your NFL career?

3) What drives you to play through injuries, such as broken ribs?

4) Who is the heart of the Cowboys team at this moment, and why?

5) What is a day in the life of Jason Witten like on a Monday, after a game?

6) What was running through your mind when you kept running after losing your

helmet in the game against the Eagles?

7) Who’s on your iPod when you’re working out?

8) What has been the most difficult obstacle to overcome in working toward

becoming one of the league’s premier tight ends?

9) How many injuries have you had since you began playing football, and what was the worst one?

10) In your work with kids, what is the one thing you want to imprint on their minds most?

Maybe it's just me, but I think a few pages in my notebook would be pretty full after that interview.
