Gonzalez is a sixteen-year pro out of California. He began his amazing career with the Kansas City Chiefs before coming to the Falcons in a trade. Even after playing for so many years, Gonzalez is still one of the best tight ends in the game, if not the best. Since joining the Falcons four years ago, Gonzalez has had 70 or more receptions each year. In 2012 he had his best season yet as a Falcon, he caught 93 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns. He also made the Pro Bowl once again.
Gonzalez had said he was 95 percent sure he was going to retire after the season and even moved it up to 97 percent sure after the Falcons lost in the playoffs. But general manager Thomas Dimitroff hopes to talk Gonzalez out of retiring, especially since he is still on top of his game. Gonzalez did say if he returns to play football in 2013, it will only be for the Falcons. If he does decide to hang up the cleats though, he will most certainly enter the Hall of Fame in a few years.
