• 2× First-team All-Pro (2014, 2016)
• 3× Second-team All-Pro (2013, 2015, 2023)
• 8× Pro Bowl (2013–2019, 2021)
• NFL 2010s All-Decade Team
• PFWA All-Rookie Team (2011)
• Morris Trophy (2010)
• First-team All-Pac-10 (2010)

Canton accepts SN/PWFA all pro selections (he made both in 2015 and 2017) so they'll have him listed as 4x 1st team.

They'll also list his 8x NFL top 100 as well so really stacked resume. I say he ends up 2nd ballot which is what Orland Pace made

Thanks for everything 77! See you in Canton.

....for what its worth.. Tyron will be missed. One of the best cowboy in recent years.

Glad to see he retired as Cowboy.

Great idea Tyron .. join your long time teammate Zack Martin into retirement and a very near future HOF induction.

Not just one of the very best OL guys Dallas Cowboys ever had ..but one of the very best OTs ever in NFL history.

 

[Coogiguy03]

He never said that.

Thank jeebus

 

[zrinkill]

Consider the source.

I never consider AI bots

 

[atlantacowboy]

The irony here is that he is still the best LT in Dallas.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

It blows my mind that he’s still only 34.

Yeah feels like he should be older. D Law too. Feels like they were here forever.

 

[GINeric]

Damn, lost two HOF OL talents to retirement this season.
Shame he got those minor injuries on the back half of his career. He was a truly elite LOT.

They will both go into the Hall of Fame together.

 

[GINeric]

It blows my mind that he’s still only 34.

His age is 34, but his body is 44.

An honor to watch his career. From a 21 year old pup to an all pro. Hell of a ride.

20 year old pup, he didn't turn 21 until December of that year he was drafted. 20 years old as a rookie, crazy to think about

I would say the all decade team should be a clincher but he is a cowboy

They should, but odds are that Tyron will have to wait a while

 

[Runwildboys]

I wonder if he goes into the HOF as a Jet

I don't think they're entered in the HoF with a team attached.

The only two cowboys jerseys I’ve ever bought are Demarcus Ware and Tyron Smith. Two legendary careers wasted by this franchise. At least ware got his ring.

I wouldn't call it a waste. Ware and Smith got compensated extraordinary well their entire career. Millions of fans adored and or respected them. It's not a boring job! They experienced many wins as well as losses. Tyron Smith wanted to officially retire as a Dallas Cowboy.

It is very disappointing to not get to the Super Bowl let alone your team winning it after once having been so dominant. That doesn't take away from the fact that post-90s, this ownership/general management, and nepotistic upper management have been an impediment to post season success and tarnished the greatness of the Dallas Cowboys.
