Detroit Lions sign kicker following rookie minicamp
Despite going undrafted, Romo secured a spot with the New Orleans Saints in 2022. However, after his release, Romo found a new opportunity with the San Antonio Brahmas of the XFL in 2023. His season with the Brahmas was nothing short of sensational as he led the league in field goals made, and he was named to the All-XFL team. Romo’s highlight of the season came when he connected on a 57-yard field goal attempt, which surely put him on the Lions’ radar.
