Following Zack Martin's retirement, Cowboys veterans Terrence Steele and Tyler Smith are expected to provide leadership for the offensive line. Both players expressed gratitude for Martin's mentorship, emphasizing the importance of continuing the culture he established. In interviews, they highlighted the lessons learned from Martinâs work ethic and professionalism, noting their commitment to passing on those values to younger teammates. With last year's injuries and inconsistency in mind, the offensive line aims to rebound this season, relying heavily on Steele and Smith's evolving leadership in Martin's absence.
I learned a lot from them. I learned how Zack took notes. I learned how Zack practiced, how he took care of his body...and I know we will continue to uphold that standard.
Really tough...Zack was my guy. Took me under his wing, showed me the ropes, showed me what it takes to be great, the mindset, hard work.
It's an honor, the time I got to play with [Martin and Smith], the lessons I learned from those guys.
We were fortunate enough to have two dudes who did it at a high level for a really long time, super consistent in everything they did.
