Cowboys Rookie Donates Entire First NFL Paycheck to Texas Kids — ‘Dallas Believed in Me, So I’m Giving Back!’ It didn’t take long for Tyler Guyton to show the kind of man he is — and the kind of legacy he wants to build in Dallas. The Cowboys’ rookie offensive tackle has donated his entire first NFL paycheck to children’s education and community programs across Texas. For many, it’s just a number on a check. But for Guyton, it’s something far deeper — a symbol of gratitude, roots, and the belief that dreams deserve a chance. “Dallas gave me this chance,” Guyton said. “Now I’m giving back.” The Oklahoma alum, born and raised in Texas, knows exactly what opportunity means. From humble beginnings to the bright lights of the NFL, his journey has been fueled by perseverance, faith, and the kind of work ethic that defines Cowboys football. Those who know Guyton say he’s never forgotten where he came from. And now, with this heartfelt gesture, he’s proving it to the entire state. His donation will go toward programs that give kids access to learning tools, mentorship, and inspiration — the same kind of support that once helped him believe his own dreams were possible. In a league that celebrates highlight plays and big contracts, Guyton’s act cuts through the noise. It’s a reminder that greatness isn’t just about what you earn — it’s about what you give back. He’s a rookie by title, but his leadership, humility, and heart already reflect the values that make the Star shine brighter. Tyler Guyton’s story isn’t just about football. It’s about what happens when a dreamer comes full circle — and uses his moment to light the way for others.
