The Dallas Cowboys selected Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker with the No. 12 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft on Thursday night. Soon after, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban provided his initial thoughts.
”This guy is a fantastic young man. He’s smart and you talk about a good leader, very physical, very tough, gets movement in the run — that’s why people like him so much. This guy has got tremendous muscle mass which I think is very important to being a power player in the NFL.”
Booker played for Saban his freshman and sophomore year at Alabama.
