Christian Gonzalez joins Patriots Foundation in hosting Hispanic Heritage Month football clinic for local youth

Growing up watching football, Christian Gonzalez always thought it was cool to see his last name on the jersey of a Hall of Fame tight end.

Those instances were few and far between, though.

"I liked to see my last name (on a jersey) when Tony Gonzalez was playing -- that was pretty cool," Gonzalez said at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday evening, hosting a Hispanic Heritage Month football clinic with the Patriots Foundation and a handful of his teammates.

"Other than that there wasn't a ton of us."
