36. Tony Gonzalez sets all-time touchdown record (2007)

Tony Gonzalez was the most dominant tight end in National Football League history, and he made that apparent in 2007. That year, Gonzalez laid claim to the all-time touchdown mark for a man at his position, catching his 62nd against the Cincinnati Bengals at Arrowhead Stadium. Gonzalez was able to play consistently at a Hall of Fame level despite playing much of his career with quarterbacks such as Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle, Tyler Thigpen and Elvis Grbac.

Gonzalez made the All-Pro list 10 times and was a 14-time Pro Bowler, showcasing his utter dominance throughout his illustrious career. The former University of California star finished his soon-to-be Hall of Fame career with 1,325 receptions, 15,127 yards and 111 touchdowns, all records for a tight end. In fact, Gonzalez ranks only behind Jerry Rice in receptions, while his touchdown mark is far and away the highest total at his position.
