Tyler Guyton is a Cowboys offensive tackle and former first-round pick working to lock down the left side of Dallas' line.
Tyler Guyton was a first-round investment for the Dallas Cowboys, drafted to anchor the offensive line for years to come. The former Oklahoma tackle has flashed his upside but has also dealt with penalties and injuries early in his career. Staying healthy and consistent remains the priority heading into 2026.
Path to the league
Guyton began his college career at TCU before transferring to Oklahoma, where he developed into a high-upside tackle prospect. The Dallas Cowboys selected him in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He stepped into a starting role as a rookie.
Career highlights
Guyton's blend of size and athleticism made him a first-round pick and a projected long-term starter at tackle for Dallas. He has worked to refine his technique and cut down on penalties, which dotted his early NFL film. Per Cowboys coverage, the team views him as a cornerstone of the line if he can stay on the field.
2025 season
Guyton started all 10 of his appearances for Dallas in 2025 before injuries cut his year short. A high-ankle sprain following the Week 12 win over Philadelphia kept him out against Kansas City, and the Cowboys placed him on injured reserve, ending his season. He was flagged seven times during the year, per PFF data.
