Tony Romo

Eastern Illinois University: You might not be familiar with Eastern Illinois University, and if that’s true you probably don’t know the Dallas Cowboys’ starting quarterback has “Antonio Ramiro Romo” printed on his driver’s license. Following his senior year, Romo became the first Eastern Illinois Panther (and also first player in Ohio Valley Conference history) to win the Walter Payton award, essentially the Heisman Trophy for the NCAA’s Division I-AA level. He finished his career as the school and conference all-time leader with 85 touchdown passes. During homecoming week in 2009, the school retired Romo’s #17 — making it the first-ever retired jersey in Eastern Illinois history.
