Frisco, Texas – New Dallas Cowboys right -wing Tyler BookerThe 12th overall choice of the team is an incredibly popular actor within the organization.
The owner and managing director Jerry Jones even compared Booker to Cowboys Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin because of the perceived similarities with their energy and leadership. However, when it was asked again questions about Booker on Thursday during the second session of the organized teams of Dallas open to the media, the new coach Brian Schottenhe has put himself in four to shout 2024 first round piece Tyler Guyton.
“I think that with some of the other leaders in advance, I would be neglected if I did not mention Tyler Guyton,” said Schottenheimer. “He has a great off -season. He works his ass. He looks great.”
Guyton, the 29th choice in total in 2024 NFL draftdid not have the most fluid recruit year. He played in 15 teams from the team and started 11. Pro Football Focus ranked Guyton as 73rd best offensive tackle in the League as a recruit with an offensive note of 49.4. However, he made major changes during the offseason that impressed his teammates and coaches so far in the team’s off -season program in 2025.
“I think I understood a lot what I need to do to take care of my body to be able to play at a high level,” Guyton said on Thursday. “In addition, just following the guys who preceded me and understanding that their routine is very important. I feel like I learned a lot.”
Guyton’s 14 accepted penalties against him as a recruit in 2024 were tied for the second largest number of Nfl Last season, just three of the connection with new Washington Commanders offensive tackle LAREMY TUSSIL For the most in the NFL.
“Of course, it’s going to be reflux and flows, but I understand that it has already happened,” said Guyton. “I’m going to go ahead and learn from my mistakes.”

Of course, many off -season players say they are going from before their mistakes and making clear improvements, but sometimes it can be a lip service. Guyton not only talks about the conversation, but he walks in the walk. He was one of the first players to return to the installation of the Cowboys team, the FRISCO star, when she was reopened to the players because of her desire to be exponentially better than her campaign recruited from top to bottom. It is understandable why Guyton had an initial struggle to adapt to life as a left tackle of the NFL. He spent his first two college seasons in TCU (2020-2021) bounce between the offensive line and the tight end. During the transfer to Oklahoma (2022-2023), he played almost exclusively in the right tackle. In Dallas, he went on the opposite side of the line. This did not help he had different minor diseases that reduced his participation in the training camp.
“I’m going to repeat it: Tyler has a large dead season. I’m talking about Tyler Guyton. I always have to specify because there is so much Tyler now. TG, he has a great deads,” said Schottenheimer. “I think that some of the new things that (new offensive coordinator) Klayton Adams and (new trainer of the offensive line) Conor Riley carried a fundamental point of view which is really to him. Now face good speed rusers. »»
Guyton himself refused to report the change of position at the NFL level as a reason for his problems, but he agreed with Schottenheimer since he has a lot to prove in 2nd year in 2025. This is why he returned to the establishment once the players were authorized to return to transform.
“I’m not going to apologize. I just didn’t play as well as I needed it last year,” said Guyton. “I come with a different attitude this year to become a better player. … There will always be learning, but I have the impression of becoming much more comfortable with that (playing on the left) now that I was at the beginning. … I just have the impression of having a lot to prove, and I had to work on things. Entering here earlier was the way I was going to do it. ”
An anticipated start of his off -season training has certainly helped, but the same goes for a spectacular dietetic change. Fast food and fried foods are out of Guyton’s diet, and it now sticks to a regular diet of vegetables, then proteins like salmon and steak. The effects of this change were felt almost immediately. The most difficult thing for Guyton to abandon was to raise the fast food from Cane, in particular their combo Canadac which is delivered with six chicken offers, several sides and a drink.
“It really changed a lot,” said Guyton. … “I feel better, it’s easy when you feel better. I have the impression that my body is purer at the moment, and I can move more freely. My joints feel better, so it’s a great transition.”
Its new construction is something that its teammates have already noticed at the start of Dallas’s off -season program.
“Guyton, it was a bit tumultuous this first year, but we trained together all Printemp Tyler Smith said. “He changed his diet. He is leaner, he is more mean, so I can’t really ask for more for the moment.
Smith, who has been appointed professional professional in each of the last two seasons, has organized group training sessions for the offensive line outside of cowboys installations until “five times a week” during the offseason. Helping to provide a certain structure in Guyton and some of the other young Dallas offensive line players could pay dividends for cowboys on the road.
“I think it was just huge for this camaraderie and this chemistry very early,” said Smith. “We started right after the season (finished), so it’s been a while.
That said, Guyton is not satisfied, saying that he has not yet reached his maximum physical form. Another part of his new diet is a one -hour stretch session at home after completing his film study far from the establishment. Guyton will enter his garage and lie on the carpets he has put for himself. The stretch session, sometimes, is almost like a hot yoga session with the left tackle calling it “hot as hell” in there.
“I want to become bigger. I want to become stronger. I want to become more flexible, said Guyton. ” I want to upgrade my body in all possible ways. This is not the finished product.
A factor in Guyton’s inspiration to make a major second year jump is aside Tyron Smith’s retirement press conferenceIts predecessor and cowboys eight times the left tackle of the pro bowl. If it can be a little bit to one day reaching the level of play of n ° 77, Dallas is certainly returning to Guyton’s career as a success.
“It’s incredible. I feel like I have almost become emotional by looking at Tyron Smith because he’s the guy I look at,” said Guyton. I want to follow his traces to be a large left tackle of Dallas Cowboys. Hearing your inheritance expanding over a decade is just a blessing, and I want to adapt to this mold. I really learned from him. I look at a large part of his cassette and listen to the things he says in his pressors, how he is doing, how he takes care of his body. … His strength is a large part of his game, so becoming strong will help you do anything on the football field. »»
