IRVING, Texas – Dan Campbell was a teammate of Tony Romo’s the first time he completed an NFL pass – on his first play from scrimmage, a 12-yard completion to fellow rookie Jason Witten in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ 2003 preseason opener at Arizona.
By then, Campbell was a four-year veteran who had already made a name for himself in the league as a solid tight end with the Giants where he was teammates with Jason Garrett.
Campbell knew talent when he saw it. And Romo had it.
