"Tyler Booker's rookie season at right guard has quietly been very solid overall. By his most recent numbers, he's logged 645 offensive snaps with 416 pass-blocking snaps, allowing just 16 total pressures and one sack, along with six penalties. He's currently at just 4.6% in pressure rate allowed, which is fifth-lowest among guards this year, which is very impressive for a first-year interior lineman."
"ESPN's trench metrics back up the idea that he's holding his own as their win-rate leaderboard has him in the top-20's among guards in pass block win rate at 95%, which is way above league average for interior linemen, while the Cowboys' line as a whole sits at 12th in pass block win rate at 66%. Add in individual PFF game grades that sees Booker in the mid 70's in both run and pass-blocking, helps show the pattern is clear with Booker."
"This week's trip to Detroit is a different kind of test for Booker. The headline matchup is dealing with Aidan Hutchinson when the Lions move him around or run games that loop him inside toward Booker's gap. Hutchinson comes in with 8.5 sacks and four forced fumbles this season and remains one of the league's most disruptive edge players. On the interior, Booker will see plenty of Alim McNeill and D.J. Reader."
