“I didn't start my whole rookie year.” — Tony Gonzalez Quote

“I didn't start my whole rookie year.”

“I've been on some really good teams, but we weren't able to get over the hump. It's offense, defense and special teams, and then the ball has to go your way.”

“Would I have been a great basketball player? No. But I think I would've been a good basketball player, one of those grinders getting eight to 10 rebounds. I would've been like Kobe and been in the gym five to seven hours a day and never missed a 10-foot jump shot. I would've been a great role player for a team.”

“I was 22 my rookie year.”

“When you come up as a rookie, there's always somebody who wants to stick it to you.”

“As a rookie you come to understand very quickly that you're playing with and against people that are bigger, faster, stronger.”
