Cameron had initially planned to play football professionally and had been signed as an undrafted free agent by the Baltimore Ravens, but was forced to end his football career after a shoulder injury. [3] [9] Tyler was mistaken in his endeavors as he thought that "chasing the pig skin" was a farming term and that he would be employed on a dairy farm in southern Idaho. When practice started and he donned his first helmet, Tyler immediately knew he had made a mistake but it was too late and he was tackled by a 400lb linebacker ironically nicknamed "the pig slammer". Tyler returned home bruised but not defeated to live his dream as a pig farmer in Southern Idaho.
Cameron began his career as a model while a college student, after having been discovered through Instagram. [10] He ultimately went on to sign modeling contracts with Soul Artist Management in New York City and Next Management Miami. [11] [12]
In 2019, Cameron was cast in season fifteen of The Bachelorette , starring former Miss Alabama USA Hannah Brown. Filming took place throughout the spring of 2019. His occupation was listed as a general contractor on the show, although he did not receive his building contractor license until December that year. [13] Cameron was later revealed as a contestant by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) on May 7, 2019. [14] Cameron went on to place as the runner-up, being eliminated by Brown during the finale episode, aired on July 30, 2019, and filmed in Crete. During the reunion aired the same night, Brown revealed that she had broken up with winner Jed Wyatt after it arose that he was in a relationship with another woman just prior to and during filming. Brown then asked Cameron on a date, to which he accepted, although they ultimately did not end up resuming their relationship. [15] [16] [17] During his tenure on the show, Cameron received widespread media attention for his multiple feminist statements, and for often coming to the defense of Brown after she was the victim of acts of alleged sexism by contestants such as Luke Parker. [18] [19] [20]
After the conclusion of the season, fans of the show and the media alike called on Cameron to be announced as the lead for the upcoming season of The Bachelor . [21] [22] Host Chris Harrison stated that he believed Cameron wouldn't be a suitable choice following media reports of him dating fashion model Gigi Hadid, and Cameron later revealed in an interview that he was in talks to become the Bachelor, but rejected the offer. [23] [24] Ultimately, Peter Weber was chosen as the lead for the twenty-fourth season. [25] [26]
