""I feel like Tyler came in and set the standard that he wants to be great when he first got here, and he has," Tyron Smith said in April. "Just increasing potential every year. And it's just his work ethic and what he puts into this game and how dominant he is on the field. It just shows every year that he is getting better. He has potential to be one of the greats, and I just can't wait to see that show.""
""He was very dominant, and it was like, 'OK, this guy's going to be really good for a long time,'" Martin said in April."
Tyler Smith signed a four-year, $96 million extension that includes $81.2 million guaranteed, securing his role as a core piece of the Cowboys' offensive line. Dallas drafted Smith in the first round in 2021 with the plan for him to succeed Tyron Smith. A hamstring tear to Tyron forced Tyler to play left tackle with little practice before the season opener, showcasing his versatility and uncommon traits. Smith moved to guard full time in 2023, made his first Pro Bowl and earned second-team All-Pro honors. Both Tyron Smith and Zack Martin praised his work ethic, dominance and growing potential. Tyron received applause at the home opener for his 13 years with the Cowboys.
