TE1: Tony Gonzalez (1997-2013)

WR1 with Cris Carter

May 6 2021 • 1 hr 5 mins

Tony Gonzalez is arguably the greatest tight end in NFL history. His career stats are only outmatched by his unwavering positive attitude. Greg talks to Tony about growing up in Southern California as a two-sport athlete and how his friends teased him for splitting the local paper’s Athlete of the Year award with some golfer named Tiger. Tony reflects on catching passes from Troy Aikman in a pre-draft workout and his struggles when he first got into the league. Finally, Greg talks with Tony about how he was so good, he had to negotiate against himself to set the tight end market.  TE1 is presented by Chevy Silverado.  Get 15% off NFLSundayTicket.tv with promo code GREG88 For more great podcasts check out BlueWirePods.com NOTE: This episode was recorded before George Kittle and Travis Kelce signed new contracts with their respective teams.
