Tony Romo returned to AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Sunday to call the Dallas Cowboys’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he received an awesome welcoming.
Now a CBS announcer, the former Cowboys quarterback received a tribute video and ovation from the fans in attendance:

Romo’s longtime teammate and good friend, Jason Witten, voiced the tribute video.
“I wasn’t prepared for that,” Romo said of the tribute video.
Romo, 37, was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2003. He went on to become the franchise leader in passing yards and touchdowns. He made four Pro Bowls and reached the postseason four times. Romo retired after last season due to a back injury that led to him being replaced as the team’s starting quarterback by Dak Prescott.
