DALLAS (AP) -- Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has become a father for the first time.

According to the Cowboys' website Tuesday, Romo's wife, former Miss Missouri Candice Crawford Romo, delivered an 8-pound, 8-ounce son late Monday afternoon at a Dallas hospital. The website reports the child has been named Hawkins Crawford Romo.

The Cowboys begin official team activities and minicamps next month, with training camp beginning in Oxnard, Calif., in late July.
