Tony Romo

Athlete 

Tony Romo's work ethic and humility have kept him grounded throughout his rise to stardom in one of sport's most distinguished positions, the quarterback of "America's Team": the Dallas Cowboys. Despite showing great athletic talent and having a stellar collegiate career, Tony came into the NFL undrafted as a backup quarterback. Making the most of the situation, Tony positioned himself to be the leader of the team if the opportunity arose. He was given a chance in 2006, as he replaced a veteran quarterback midway through the season resulting in a playoff appearance for the Cowboys after a three year drought. In only his second season as a starter, Tony was recently selected to his second consecutive Pro Bowl (NFL All-Star game) and led his team to the best record in the NFC during the 2007 NFL Season.

It was not long before the media caught up with the small town boy-turned-Dallas Cowboys quarterback. His immediate rise from a blue collar background to Texas Royalty epitomizes the American Dream. Tony's success on the field as well as his red-carpet appearances with Jessica Simpson and Carrie Underwood have resulted in his burgeoning pop culture status. He has appeared regularly in People, US Magazine, In Touch, Star, Entertainment Weekly, Sports Illustrated, ESPN the Magazine and The Sporting News. In the face of increasing media exposure Tony has remained poised and composed. Midwestern origins and a close knit family provide Tony with a strong foundation to handle challenges both on and off the field.
