FRISCO, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys have been at their best over the past decade or so, their offensive line has been the reason.
Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin and Tyler Smith were all first-round picks who made a Pro Bowl. The Cowboys view Tyron Smith and Martin as certain Hall of Famers. They have compared Tyler Smith to another Hall of Famer, Larry Allen. Health led to an early retirement for Frederick, but he was a multiple-time Pro Bowler.
But it wasn't just the first-round picks.
