Alabama guard Tyler Booker was thrilled to be picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night – and not just because of Hutchins BBQ in Frisco, Texas, where Booker said he ate “some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life” during his visit with the Cowboys.

Tyler Booker, the standout offensive guard from Alabama, has been drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. The #1 ranked offensive guard in the Big Green Scouting Notebook, Booker is a 21-year-old 6-5, 321-pounder with 34 ½ inch arms was a team captain and started 25 games at left guard and one game at left tackle the last two years.

When Tyler Booker was selected by the Dallas Cowboys as the No. 12 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, the former Alabama football offensive lineman didn't hide his excitement. "I’m just glad to be a Cowboy," Booker told ESPN. "This is really a dream come true. It’s truly a blessing."
