The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to kick off a new era under head coach Brian Schottenheimer. The team selected Tyler Booker with the 12th overall pick of this year’s draft. A move that clearly shows what kind of direction Schottenheimer wants to take the team in as they look to transition to the running game.Booker is coming off a stellar season with the Alabama Crimson Tide. At 6-foot-3, weighing close to 320 pounds, the Cowboys' rookie is an absolute unit and one of the strongest blockers in this year’s draft class. Speaking to reporters at the Cowboys’ training camp, Booker revealed how his college career and the SEC helped him prepare for the big leagues:“It's definitely prepared me a lot — talent level and the way we do things in the SEC"“In the SEC, things are done to a higher standard.
There's a lot more expected out of you than in other conferences, and that's proven on a week-by-week basis. You see how much success SEC players have in the NFL, so that's definitely prepared me for where I am today."
Tyler Booker is set to face his biggest challenge yet during his NFL debut
Following a highly decorated career at Alabama, Tyler Booker is now preparing to take on one of the biggest challenges of his young career. Booker is expected to make his NFL debut against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4.
In that game, Booker will likely match up against defensive lineman Jalen Carter.Now, Carter is widely regarded as one of the best defensive linemen in the league. So, Booker could be in for quite a welcome as he prepares for his first official league game in September. If the 21-year-old manages to hold his own against Carter, it will be safe to assume that the Cowboys have quite a prospect on their hands.
But first, Booker will make his NFL preseason debut as the Dallas Cowboys take on the Los Angeles Rams on August 9. Also Read: Newlywed CB Travis Hunter lights up the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice
