## Resource

Tyler Smith, the Cowboys’ standout guard who started as a tackle, just claimed the top spot as the league’s best interior offensive lineman, proving his power in the run game and elite pass protection — all while battling a knee injury last season. Though some stats were deemed “quality but not elite,” his grit and raw talent earned him the crown, even as rankings varied wildly among coaches and scouts. Smith’s dominance is reshaping the Cowboys’ offensive line, with comparisons to prime Jason Peters. Rookie Tyler Booker also got an honorable mention, hinting at a future where both could anchor one of the NFL’s most formidable lines.
