Tony Gonzalez finds new home with Fox Sports
By Matt Conner
Former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez has joined FOX Sports as their new lead analyst for football broadcasts.
Tony Gonzalez, former Kansas City Chiefs great and future Hall of Famer, has found a new home as an announcer after stepping away from CBS Sports in March. Now he will be “lead analyst” for Fox Sports, mostly working with Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw on Fox NFL Sunday, a one-hour show that plays before kickoff each week.
Gonzalez cited travel issues as the reason for stepping away from CBS and his new role at Fox will allow him to stay close to home in Southern California.
"“I can’t wait for this upcoming season to get underway and begin working with the FOX Sports family,” said Gonzalez. “It’s a great opportunity for me to continue sharing my passion for the game while remaining close to home.”"
Gonzalez was the 13th overall selection in the 1997 NFL Draft by the Chiefs and went on to become the team’s most prolific receiver of all time. He is a 14-time Pro Bowl selection and holds the NFL records for most receiving yards and touchdowns by a tight end in league history.
