Report: Tony Romo Signs on as Executive Producer for Showtime Football Series

Former Dallas Cowboys star and current NFL broadcaster Tony Romo is teaming up with actor Chace Crawford and Drew Comins to produce a drama series set in the world of professional football for Showtime, according to Joe Otterson of Variety.

"The show would follow the fictitious first family of football and the players, coaches, and power brokers behind the high stakes world of America’s biggest professional sport," Otterson writes.

Romo and Crawford are brothers-in-law as the former Cowboys quarterback is married to Crawford’s sister Candice. The project has been described as a cross between Succession and Friday Night Lights, per Deadline.
