Tyron Smith

Now for a lineman. Smith was selected in 2011 by the Dallas Cowboys, and has been the starter ever since.   He has protected the blind side of Tony Romo for the last four seasons, and has been selected to the Pro Bowl in the last three. He is a durable player, missing only one game since his draft selection in 2011, starting all 79 games he has been active for.

The Cowboys have had a history of strong players up front, and Smith has been no different.
