Jerry Jones is confident that Tony Romo won't be defined by his recent arrest.
The longtime Dallas Cowboys quarterback was arrested in Wisconsin on July 23 on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence (OWI), according to police records obtained by USA TODAY Sports. He "performed poorly on SFSTs (standard field sobriety tests)," resulting in him being taken into custody.
Jones was asked about Romo during a recent interview with KDFW Fox 4, when the Cowboys' owner said he has "been talking to" Romo in the aftermath of his arrest, and spoke glowingly about his former quarterback's character and talent.
"I love him," Jones said of Romo. "I love what he's about. I love his character. I love his love of sport. And he's a very, very unique talent. And the real question is – and I don't even have to ask what the answer is: Do you think Tony Romo knows how to get up when he gets knocked down? He had a life of that. And absolutely, that's one of his greatest attributes, is that he can handle adversity.
"And so this is something that he will work through. He is a unique talent. ... So, obviously, I'm a big fan of his, big fan of his family, and let me tell you right now, he's as real as he sounds. He feels every down time, he feels every up time."
