The Dallas Cowboys selected Tyler Booker with the No. 12 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday.
Booker started two seasons at left guard and was a permanent team captain.
describes him like this: “Two-year starter and team captain with elite physical traits. Booker is a downhill run blocker with average explosiveness into first contact, but he utilizes his size and power to overtake defenders in the second phase of the block. He can play too far out over his toes but that’s correctable. Booker is an average athlete in protection but makes up for it with technique and football intelligence to defend against twists. He’s tough, smart and a top leader. The traits, football character and play strength will make him a good starter for a downhill, power-based attack.”
