Inspired by his grandmother, the first-round pick has the athleticism and altruism to leave a dynamic legacy.
Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick Tyler Guyton has a pair of tattoos inked on his hands. On his right hand, he has a dog tag with his grandmother, Gracie Guyton, inscribed in it. On the left hand is her signature and the word ‘Selfless. ’Tyler is photographed at The Star in Frisco, Texas, June 11, 2024.AUSTIN — Tyler Guyton does not advertise it, but when he was 20, he went on the sort of spending spree that makes financial advisers shudder.
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton with his family wait for his ride following a school tour, on Friday, May 17, 2024, at Manor Senior High School in Manor.Last month, the Oklahoma offensive line coach began reciting the most talented blockers he’s coached across a 30-year career. He soon realized a problem: At some point, the list needed to end.
“I watched the rookie minicamp tape,” said Smith, who uploaded the footage on his iPad. “I was extremely impressed with his movement skills. His speed off the ball, his length. As he learns the offense and gets faster and faster, he’s going to evolve at a staggering rate. But he has a really good starting point right now. His upside is high — it’s really high. We could play together for a really, really long time.
Today is mayor-declared Tyler Guyton Day in Manor, TX. The Cowboys left tackle and rookie first-round pick was honored at a pep rally at his alma mater, Manor Senior High School.The evening before the pep rally, a man approached a Mediterranean-cuisine food truck in downtown Austin, asking for any food to spare. He received none. Guyton stood outside the hotel where he was staying and intervened.“I started talking to this dude,” Guyton said. “I come to find out, he has a wife and kids.
That situation is hardly unique in the United States. A car driver or passenger may avert eye contact or not roll down a window. Guyton, without any cash on hand, could have done the same.Jackson’s wallet was inside a backpack in the backseat. That is fine, Guyton said. There is time. While Jackson rifled through his backpack, the traffic light turned green. At least one driver honked behind them. Finally, Jackson found a $20 bill, gave it, and off they went.
Al Guyton said his late mother “would have done backflips over” Tyler’s draft selection, a development she all but foretold.
