Jeff Heuerman was a three-year starter and All-Big Ten before departing for the NFL and played with a lot of the same physicality that I see in Witten. Much like Heuerman, Witten looks to have enough athleticism to run any route as well as any receiver, with great acceleration and decent long speed. Heuerman led the Buckeyes with 17.9 yards per reception during his junior season and I could see Witten having a similar stat line.
