What Former Kansas City Chiefs Player Tony Gonzalez Is Doing Today

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Like many former NFL stars, Gonzalez would use his vast knowledge of the game to his post-career advantage. After a career in the pros that spanned 17 seasons with two teams, the former tight end joined the CBS network in 2014. He worked as one of the analysts for the pregame show (per NBC). After three seasons in that role with the network, Gonzalez moved over to Fox, serving that studio in the same capacity.

Gonzalez stayed with Fox for several years. After the 2020-2021 football season, the network announced that Gonzalez would leave to pursue another passion. Gonzalez had long ago been bitten by the acting bug and wanted to focus his attention on TV and film. But the NFL great wouldn't stay out of the sports spotlight for long. In April 2022, it was revealed that Gonzalez was joining Amazon as an analyst for the streaming giant. He will be drawing from his expertise to give not only commentary but also play-by-play analysis as part of the "Thursday Night Football" team. Gonzalez will be seen on air during the pregame, halftime, and postgame portions of the show.
