Dallas Cowboys' longtime star left tackle Tyron Smith will retire with the team that drafted him in 2011 after a 13-season career that included eight Pro Bowl selections. Smith, who started all 171 career games he played, was a cornerstone of the Cowboys' offensive line along with fellow Pro Bowlers Zack Martin and Travis Frederick.
Smith, known for his skill in protecting the quarterback's blindside, battled various injuries towards the latter part of his career, ultimately leading to his retirement. Despite his struggles with injuries, Smith's contributions to the Cowboys' offense have left a lasting impact, solidifying his place as one of the team's all-time greats.
The retirement of Smith, following Martin's recent decision to step away from the game, marks the end of an era for the Cowboys. The duo's potential future induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame recognizes their significant influence on the game and their notable roles in shaping one of the NFL's best offensive lines during their time with the team.
