The Dallas Cowboys first-round pick from last season and a hopeful future star at left tackle, Tyler Guyton, had a rookie campaign with a few bumps and bruises. However, challenges were expected, as he was one of the rawest tackle prospects heading into the draft and was transitioning to left tackle after spending time at Oklahoma as a right tackle.
Although there were growing pains with his performance on the field, Guyton was drafted in the first round because he could develop into a great player with his athleticism and traits. When the front office hired Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach, there was an idea that some continuity from the McCarthy era would hold over, but with the chance to put his own stamp on the offense and the staff.
