Evidently Eastern quarterback Tony Romo is becoming a potential late-round gem for more franchises in the upcoming NFL Draft in April.

According to the reports by the Denver Post and Wisconsin State Journal, the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers are interested in acquiring Romo’s services with a late round draft selection.

Denver Post sports writer Adam Schefter had the Denver Broncos selecting Romo in the seventh round in a mock draft because of Broncos head coach Mike Shananan attended Eastern.

The Broncos solidified their starting quarterback position by signing former Arizona Cardinals signal caller Jake Plummer to a seven-year $40 million Wednesday.

The Packers interviewed Romo during that segment of the NFL combine in February and personnel executives came away impressed.

Packers scouting director John Dorsey said the team had six interviews scheduled with quarterbacks during the combine and Romo, Florida’s Rex Grossman and California’s Kyle Boller were expected to be on that list.

Romo had been preparing for several days of how to answer the question of handling the situation of being the successor to future Hall of Fame signal caller Brett Favre.

“I’ve got something for ’em,” Romo said to the Wisconsin State Journal. “It’s actually funny because I’ve always said I wouldn’t want to be the guy to replace Brett.”

Romo was 12 years old when Favre took over as the Packers’ starting quarterback and has always admired the three-time NFL Most Valuable Player.

“To go there and learn under him would be unbelievable,” Romo said. “It would just be an honor to be on the same field as Brett.”

However, Romo is aware of the pressure that could come from being Favre’s successor.

“You look at Denver’s situation after (John) Elway, it’s hard to replace someone like that,” Romo said.
