It's exciting to be a Dallas Cowboy.

At least, that was definitely how newest Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Booker reacted.

The Alabama offensive guard squealed his whole way down the tunnel in Green Bay after the Cowboys took him at No. 12 overall.

Then when he got to the stage, Booker embraced commissioner Roger Goodell in a giant bear hug.

"I'm just glad to be a Cowboy," Booker told ESPN. "This is really a dream come true."

Booker was considered by many to be the best guard in the draft.

He's expected to slot in at right guard for the Cowboys, with Tyler Smith at left guard.

Booker will replace Hall of Famer Zack Martin, who retired.

On 970 pass blocking plays in his Alabama career, Booker allowed just one sack.

Now, Dak Prescott will count on the big fella to help keep him upright in Dallas.
