How Tony Romo welcomed Ezekiel Elliott and poked fun at not being drafted

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo welcomed Ezekiel Elliott to Dallas with a Tweet on Friday.

He tweeted: Welcome to Dallas Ezekiel. Nothing better than your draft day! Or in my case, nothing better than teams fighting for you after it's over :)

Romo went undrafted out of Eastern Illinois in 2003. He was signed as a free agent by the Cowboys and eventually became a four-time Pro Bowler.

Romo is recovering from off-season surgery, but is expected to make a full recovery for training camp.
