Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer said this about Booker: "I'm not just excited about the player. I'm extremely excited about the person."

Maybe it was fate that Booker was coming to the Cowboys when during his visit to The Star as one of the 30 national visits, coach Brian Schottenheimer played the one song that seemed perfect: “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston.

Alabama guard Tyler Booker was thrilled to be picked by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night – and not just because of Hutchins BBQ in Frisco, Texas, where Booker said he ate “some of the best food I’ve ever had in my life” during his visit with the Cowboys.
