2476957, Witten should finish second in total TE yards by a healthy margin.

He's got a 500 yard lead on Gates, a couple more games before Gates returns from suspension, and he's younger than Gates.
He'll also easily crack the top ten players ever in terms of most receptions of all time, and it's weirdly not impossible that he could crack the top five.
He's way behind on TDs (not even ahead of Vernon Davis!), where guys like Gronk and Graham will pass him the second he retires-- and feasibly could even before that. That's an easy knock against him...
... but then again, he's also crushed the total numbers in general of most of the older TEs who are already in the HOF.
I think he gets in. Not first ballot.
