Very interesting and a tough thing for a 21 year old to have to deal with.

Amazing story, thanks for posting.

To think most if not all pro athletes especially the blue chipper shave to deal with this.

I hope he starts living up to that 100 million dollar contract.

I find it interesting how the O-Line is a collection of guys (seemingly all very different) that have gelled so well together and genuinely like each other. That can't be underscored enough.

That's why I always take the position "you never judge a man/woman until you walk a mile in his moccasins.".

I would say he has more than started earning that money. He's well on his way.

I said this before about Smith. If I were in his position, my parents would be too embarrassed to take a dime from me. I would have to force any money or gifts on them. Tyron didn't ask to be born. I wish more parents would understand that about their children.

I hope my kid makes millions and cares for his OWN family some day. I'll never understand these people.

"Hey son, I wan't a $300,000 dollar home, but need $800,000". Sounds about right, lol. TSmith said his parents house cost more than his.

Although, in California 800K gets you a shack and in Dallas 300K gets you at least 3500 sqft.

He already has. His superb play this year has solidified him as a top 3 LT in the league (along with Joe Thomas and Jason Peters).

If you like Solder so much maybe learn to spell his name?

Great article. Really demonstrates that Tyron will be a success no matter what he does in life. He has a great head in his shoulders.

You kidding me?

What do you mean they shave? AS in cutting their face hair? Fred will not be happy.

Please note, this is not a topic about race, however obliquely it's alluded to. Thanks.

EDIT: This was also a really good read, by the way.
