The Dallas Cowboys threw a curveball in Round 1 of the NFL Draft by straying from conventional wisdom and taking an offensive lineman over a skill position player.
Tyler Booker immediately bolsters the offensive line with a player who has major shoes to fill after Zack Martin's retirement.
One day after being selected, Booker arrived at The Star with his family and proudly unveiled his new jersey number.
Booker, who wore No. 52 with the Alabama Crimson Tide, will be running it back and once again be wearing the number when he takes the field in Dallas.
Tyler Booker is all smiles as his mother helps him put his #Cowboys jersey on for the first time.
