Tyler Smith hasn’t wasted any time giving the Dallas Cowboys a great return on their 2022 first-round pick. Now entering his second season, Smith’s ability to play multiple spots on the offensive line could easily be put to the test again.
When Smith was originally drafted a year ago, the plan was to play him at left guard while Tyron Smith and Terence Steele handled the tackle positions. But a preseason injury to Tyron forced the younger Smith into immediate duty at left tackle, where he stayed for the majority of the season. Dallas did try some things with veteran Jason Peters, but Tyler predominantly played on the left edge.
