Fall camp is underway for the Oklahoma Sooners and NFL training camps are off and running as well. Games are 30 days away but it feels like football season is here.
There are a number of Sooners making their way through training camp for the first time. After being selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, offensive tackle [autotag]Tyler Guyton[/autotag] is off and running during his rookie year.
Between minicamps, OTA’s and Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California, Guyton continued doing what he’s done since his arrival in Norman; put in the work.
Guyton shared with Patrik Walker, who covers the Dallas Cowboys for DallasCowboys.com, “Every day. Every day. I didn’t take a trip. I didn’t go on vacation. I stayed and worked with Duke every single day. For one, I got stronger. I toned up my body and also refined my technique within my set and my balance.”

Guyton is not only holding his own, but defeating the All-Pro edge in team drills.
Fellow DallasCowboys.com writer Nick Harris had this to say:
With the eyeballs glued to the action up front, Guyton turned in a strong day of work that featured multiple wins against Micah Parsons and second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland both in 11-on-11 action and one-on-one drills. The day remained consistent for the Oklahoma product as he walked off the field with a huge first day in pads. – Harris, DallasCowboys.com
