NORMAN, Okla. -- Former Dallas Cowboys star Jason Witten will take another major step in his football journey on Friday night in his first game as Oklahoma's tight ends coach.
Witten played tight end for 17 years in the NFL, and the 11-time Pro Bowler ranks fourth all-time in league history with 1,228 receptions. He'll experience his first game as a college **** istant on Friday night when the Sooners host UTEP.
Oklahoma hired him in January, and he quickly made an impression on offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle.
"I mean, he's the ultimate teammate," Arbuckle said. "I made it really, really clear to him on multiple occasions like, 'Hey if you see something or maybe you disagree with someone, I'm not one to just let it sit back. Tell me about it. Let's talk about it.'"
