FRISCO, Texas — The NFL is about growing up. Tyron Smith did with the Cowboys. He entered the Cowboys universe at 21, from Southern California as a top pro prospect. Jerry Jones drafted him ninth overall from USC in 2011. In 14 seasons, Smith handled fame and fortune, raised a family, learn to shave his head, thanks to DeMarcus Ware, pass- and run-blocked, entered into old-school music battles with the strength and conditioning staff and developed friends for life.
