Tony Gonzalez spoke with Sports Illustrated's Brice Butler to talk about the upcoming NFL season. Gonzalez, who is now a broadcaster for Prime's Thursday Night Football team, is a 14-year Pro Bowler who played a decade with the Kasnas City Chiefs.

Gonzalez was still in the NFL when the Chiefs drafted the franchise's next great tight end, Travis Kelce. Gonzalez revealed that the Chiefs put him in contact with Kelce when they first drafted him, telling their former player that they thought they had something special. Gonzalez agrees and said he hopes today's tight ends continue to take the position to the next level.
