William Thomas Romanowski (born April 2, 1966) is an American former professional football linebacker who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. Nicknamed "Romo" and "RomoCop",[1] he spent the majority of his career with the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos. Romanowski was selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 1988 NFL draft and played six seasons each in San Francisco and Denver.[2] Romanowski was also a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders for two seasons each. Over his career, Romanowski won four Super Bowl titles, two each with the 49ers and Broncos, and twice received Pro Bowl honors during his Broncos tenure. He also led a controversial career due to often engaging in unsportsmanlike behavior, which resulted in altercations with opponents and teammates.
