Kellen Moore talks about Tony Romo’s retirement, how he was‘huge’ in his growth

When Kellen Moore first met Tony Romo in September 2015, he quickly made the Dallas Cowboys’ veteran quarterback feel old.

“I told him I first saw him play when I was in sixth grade (in 2000), when he was in college, he was at Eastern Illinois and they were in the playoffs against Montana,” Moore said.

Romo played in just five games the last two seasons because of injuries, but he served as a vital presence for Moore, the former Boise State great. On Tuesday, Romo announced his retirement from the NFL and will become the new lead analyst for CBS.
