Tyler Smith is trying to raise awareness for cancer screenings

The Dallas Cowboys have perhaps the best interior offensive linemen in the game on their team in Tyler Smith, someone who is going to be around for the long-term future after receiving a contract extension from the club a few months ago. Smith has been a dream for the Cowboys from just about Day 1 as he has gone about everything in the perfectly right way.

Part of what makes him so great is his personality and what he gives his time to. We here at Blogging The Boys are particularly grateful that he offered some of his time on Friday after the Cowboys visited the Detroit Lions. You can watch our entire conversation below.

Smith discussed the loss to Detroit, the team’s mentality coming out of it, his fumble recovery in the game, and so much more. It was one of the more fun interviews that I have had the fortune to be a part of and he really let his personality shine. He is quite the fan of anime as it turns out.

Most importantly though, he joined us to talk about his partnership with Novartis, the Official Pharmaceutical Partner of the NFL and Dallas Cowboys as well as the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The effort here is to raise awareness around the importance of annual breast cancer screenings. Tyler devoted his cleats during the league’s My Cause My Cleats initiative to this cause and spoke about how it has impacted him personally.

This season marks the launch of a new partnership between the Cowboys and Novartis, the Official Pharmaceutical Partner of the NFL, dedicated to expanding proactive health education for fans in Dallas and surrounding communities. Together, Novartis and the Dallas Cowboys are encouraging consistent annual exams, screenings, and, ultimately, empowering action around critical health conversations that affect our fans every day.

Novartis partnered with Cowboys offensive lineman, Tyler Smith, during the NFL’s My Cause My Cleats campaign as he supported the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Smith amplified awareness for people living with breast cancer, particularly driving support for the Dallas Cowboys’ Star Survivors campaign. The partnership includes digital signage throughout AT&T Stadium this season, encouraging fans to make their health a priority. 

Our thanks to Tyler Smith for the time and our best wishes to him moving forward.
