Youth football team huddle with coach outdoors at the Inside The Star sports camp, promoting football skills, teamwork, and athletic development for young players.

The Dallas Cowboys selected Tyler Booker with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The former Crimson Tide is already making an impact as a player for the city.

Over the weekend, Booker posted a video of him at a kids youth football camp. Booker was running drills with one of the participants and playfully shoved him.

He then shared the video with the caption, “How you do anything is how you do everything.”

Check it out below, and you’ll see what he is talking about.

Great Start

Booker continued to honor both, returning to his hometown of New Haven for his fourth annual Tyler Booker Youth Football Camp at Hopkins School on Saturday.

The double session saw Booker and an elite coaching staff working with middle school players in the morning and high school players in the afternoon.

Booker had his first camp in his hometown less than a handful of years ago. The camp has grown to where there were over 100 kids in each session on Saturday.

I love seeing this from Booker, and to be honest, I had no idea he did this even before he was a member of the Cowboys.

Much is expected of Booker, as he starts alongside Cooper Beebe and Terence Steele in front of Dak Prescott, as the offensive line looks to be the unit that will power this team forward in 2025.

10 interior offensive linemen have earned at least one Pro Bowl nod for Dallas since their last Super Bowl victory in 1996. With Zack Martin retiring, the Cowboys are going to need Booker to bring the heat.

The same heat that we saw him show above during his youth camp.

Let’s be honest though, expecting Booker, Tyler Smith (who has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons) and Guyton to repeat what Tyron Smith, Frederick and Martin did might not be fair.

Still, I like what the Cowboys are building here, and if they can get Tyler Guyton who is a raw talent, to clean up the issues he had last year, these three might be okay.

You don’t need Cooper Beebe or anyone else to be Hall of Famers, you just need them to be like Doug Free and company.

I am enjoying a decent offseason for once, but this team still has a lot of work to do and if they are going to be successful on offense it is going to start with these boys upfront.

You simply never use the 12th pick on a guard. Especially, when like Booker, he is limited as an athlete. Booker was the wrong choice in every way. Even if he overcomes his athletic limits, he plays guard and so he simply can’t make much difference in games.

I disagree!! Just because he’s a guard, it don’t mean he’s not worth the 12th overall pick!! And he can make a difference on the offense too!! First of all, he’s gonna be blocking the biggest and strongest players on every defense we go against, so him and Tyler Smith both will make a big difference in how good our running game is cause they’ll be the ones opening up the running lanes on the inside!! And he’s gonna be the one blocking the DTs from getting to the most important player on the team!! So he can make a big difference on the offensive line!! You can’t put just anybody there, they have to be good!! And just because his athletic ratings wasn’t that good at the combine, it doesn’t mean he’s not a good player!! I think his college tape shows how good he is and that’s why he was drafted in the 1st round!! And he was by far the best guard in the whole draft, the 2nd best guard wasn’t even close to Booker, but that guard was still drafted in the top 20 if I’m not mistaken, so if that guard was drafted that high, then Booker was definitely worth the 12th overall pick!! Plus, there were experts out there that had Booker being drafted before we were on the clock at 12, some had him as high as 6th or 7th overall, so the way I see it, we were lucky he fell to us at 12!!

And on another note…. If I’m not mistaken, I think you were one of the ones complaining about us drafting Tyler Smith in the 1st round, and we all see how good he turned out to be!! So from past experience, the Cowboys have been probably the best team in the NFL at drafting offensive linemen, so I think they know what they’re doing!! So in other words, you don’t know what your talking about!!
