Description

It’s Super Bowl time, and on this week’s episode former Chief tight end and NFL great Tony Gonzalez sits down with Jared to discuss his journey and lifelong passion for the game. Born and raised in Southern California, Tony’s natural athleticism and unrivaled work ethic won him the Orange County High School Athlete of the Year award, an honor he shared with classmate Tiger Woods. After dominating both football and basketball at the University of California, Tony was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the 1997 NFL Draft. In the 17 years Tony spent on the field, he racked up 14 Pro Bowl selections and numerous NFL records, including being the leader in total receiving yards by a tight-end and 3rd in all-time receptions. Tony is now a FOX Sports analyst and the host of his own podcast, Wide Open with Tony Gonzalez.

Every Hall of Famer has experienced it. Every MVP has gone through it. Every All-Star has endured it. It is a unifying experience amongst all professional athletes. The perennial superstars and the ones that never were. For some, it is a memory they hold dear and remember with great nostalgia. For others, it was a horror show they would love to forget. But for every single professional athlete, it is the one thing they all have in common...ROOKIE YEAR! The rookie year is the great equalizer in professional sports. The NBA lottery pick is still sitting in the worst seat on the plane and bus. The #1 pick in the NFL draft still has to deal with veterans hazing the hell out of them. And the superstar wunderkind in baseball still has to carry a shit-ton of equipment. In this focused, funny, insightful and revealing podcast, the listener gets to take a trip down memory lane to that formative experience of a professional athlete’s rookie season.
