Coming out of North Crowley High School (Texas) in the class of 2019, Tyler Smith was anything but a slam dunk first-round pick.

The 6-foot-4, 312-pound offensive lineman was projected as a Group of 5 guard.

While Smith ended up at Tulsa, he developed into a star.

On draft night, he stayed one, as the Dallas Cowboys selected Smith with the No. 24 overall pick.
