The selection proved to be gold for Dallas, as he was an All-Rookie that year, and in 2013, he would earn his first of what has been seven consecutive Pro Bowls, with four of those seasons seeing him earn All-Pro Selections (two First Team and two Second Team).  Smith's contributions have done wonders for the Cowboys' running and passing game, and much of their offensive success can be attributed to the Left Tackle.  He was dominant, that he was named to the 2010s All-Decade Team.

Smith, who is coming off an eighth Pro Bowl beofre his season-ending injury, is still with the Cowboys as of this writing, and he has an outside chance of being the best Offensive Lineman in franchise history.
