At the start of Dallas Cowboys training camp, Tyler Booker was trailing veteran Rob Jones in the battle for the starting right guard job. Now, after an injury to Jones and weeks of reps with the ones, the former Alabama star left guard impressed in his preseason debut on Saturday.
Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, played 29 snaps against the Baltimore Ravens in Preseason Week 2, his first action, and did not allow a single quarterback pressure. Not just a bright spot as a pass-blocker, Booker opened lanes in the run game and caught the attention of the NFL media’s preeminent offensive line play analyst, Brian Baldinger.
