Tony Romo does hilariously on-point imitations of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre

Why is he so good at this?

Tony Romo has a gift for imitations — but it’s not the kind of imitation where he replicates a person’s voice or day-to-day mannerisms. No, Romo’s skill set is very specific. The retired Cowboys quarterback and CBS Sports analyst can recreate the pre-snap routine and throwing motion for a number of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL.

Apparently, Jimmy Kimmel uncovered Romo’s talent during a dinner out, so the comedian forced the quarterback to show off on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Romo was able to do imitations of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. For football nerds like myself, the bit was very entertaining — and impressive. Here’s a look.

Insanely good, right? It seems like Romo has watched way too much quarterback game tape through the years.
