Can a year away from football make you even better? One Dallas Cowboys player seems to think that’s happened to Jason Witten.
Witten, who spent a year in the Monday Night Football broadcast booth before returning to the Cowboys, is getting rave reviews from those working with him during the offseason. That now includes Dak Prescott, who thinks Witten has actually improved now from where he was upon retirement.
Dak Prescott on Jason Witten: "I guess the trick is to take a year off because he's definitely gotten better, stronger and faster. He hasn't lost a step."

It’s a very similar review to the one he got from his head coach. There are no tempering expectations here — if the Cowboys are to be believed, Witten is going to be a big part of the offense, and already seems to be getting back up to speed.
