Eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Tyron Smith knew in his gut that the Dallas Cowboys were home when he arrived on his pre-draft visit 14 years ago back in 2011 before going ninth overall in the draft out of USC.

According to Pro Football Reference, the NFL player whose career most resembles Jones’ is Alworth. The wide receiver known as “Bambi” entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility with the Class of 1978, and in 2019, Alworth was chosen for the NFL All-Time Team as part of the league’s centennial observance.

One of the greatest to ever put on a Cowboys uniform, a first ballot Hall of Famer has finally said goodbye to the game of football. A five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowler, Tyron Smith was drafted ninth overall by the Cowboys in the 2011 NFL Draft and quickly established himself as the premier left tackle in the game.
