When Tyler Booker was selected by the Dallas Cowboys as the No. 12 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft, the former Alabama football offensive lineman didn't hide his excitement. "I’m just glad to be a Cowboy," Booker told ESPN. "This is really a dream come true. It’s truly a blessing."

Tyler Booker doesn’t have to be that good replacing Zack Martin, another HOFer and the last guard the Cowboys took with the 12th pick. But it’d be nice if he was better than, you know, Matthew Golden. Or Jalon Walker. Or Jahdae Barron.

Booker began attending Saban’s football camps in 2015, as noted during ABC’s NFL draft broadcast on Thursday. After the former Crimson Tide guard was selected No. 12 overall by the Dallas Cowboys, ABC showed a photo montage of Saban and Booker together through the years.
