He was drafted in the 20s and some weren’t very high on him. If the video on him was that impressive he would’ve gone much higher. No assurances he pans out.

After this season I hope Jason Peters gets into the ring of honor.
What if he is the lead blocker on the key winning play in the Super Bowl?

Suppose that Tyron can make it back in December and they decide to switch either he or Peters to the other side.
Then you could very realistically have three future Hall of Famers playing on the offensive line with Tyron, Peters and Zack Martin.
It's a high probability that this is a dream, but if Tyler Smith shows greatness in his rookie season, could it be four future HOFers?
The most likely scenario is three and you have both starting Tackles eventually in the Hall of Fame.
How many teams can brag that they have both starting positions on the squad probably going into the Hall of Fame?
Glad you asked! During the 1971 Super Bowl the Cowboys had two squads in which both starters ended up in the Hall of Fame. Both of their starting receivers and both of their starting CB's became Hall of Famers. If you were to count the TE as a receiver then all three of them made it to the Hall of fame.
The WR's were Bob Hayes and Lance "Bambi" Alworth, TE was Mike Ditka, and the two CB's were Mel Renfro and Herb Adderly. In addition, the QB (Staubach), RT (Wright), and DT (Lilly) are Hall of Famers. An OLB (Howley) is a finalist this year.
If Howley makes it then 41% of the starters on the 1971 Super Bowl team Dallas Cowboys were Hall of Famers.
