Romo believes Wilson might have a Dan Marino-like upside.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo thinks a great deal of New York Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson … which has caused FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd to think a little less of Romo.

Romo believes Wilson might have a Dan Marino-like upside.
