context_page_description: Alex Benjamin Barron is a former American football offensive tackle in the National Football League for the St. Louis Rams, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. He was drafted by the St. Louis Rams with the 19th overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played college football for Florida State University, and was a two-time consensus All-American.
context_section_description: In 2010, he was acquired to provide depth and compete with Doug Free for the left tackle position, after the release of Flozell Adams. He got off to an inauspicious beginning, in his first game and start at right tackle in place of an injured Marc Colombo, the Cowboys appeared to have come back from a 13-7 deficit on a touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Roy Williams on the final play against the Washington Redskins on the season opener. But Barron was flagged for holding defensive end Brian Orakpo and because the penalty was called against the offense, the game was over with the Cowboys losing. Although he was active for 10 additional games, he would not play another down and was not re-signed at the end of the year.
