Former Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonazalez and safety Johnny Robinson are headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame as part of the NFL’s class of 2019, as announced by the league on Saturday.
Gonzalez, 42, played for the Chiefs from 1997 to 2008 before finishing his career with the Atlanta Falcons from 2009 to 2013. Robinson, 80, spent his entire career with the Chiefs organization, from 1960 to 1971.
Gonzalez is the Chiefs franchise’s receiving leader with 10,940 career yards and is a first-ballot Hall of Famer, while it took Robinson 39 years and a senior candidacy to achieve the league’s highest honor.
