Tony Gonzalez: Future Hall of Famer and so much more

By Steve Hummer

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

 

Need that impossible catch, the one that makes the SportsCenter crew speak in tongues?

If that’s all, just throw the ball up. And if Tony Gonzalez is anywhere around, he’ll more than likely grab it. Gonzalez, traded to the Falcons in April, is the NFL’s most accomplished tight end, already owning Hall of Fame numbers. He creates more mismatches than a Vegas wedding chapel.

 

According to the reviews traveling south with the Falcons new toy at tight end, the NFC South’s defensive coordinators should be developing a noticeable nervous tic about now.

“There’s nobody who can catch a ball or adjust to a ball in the air like (Gonzalez) can, probably not even wide receivers. You throw it to him when he’s covered. He always has the advantage in those situations,” said Dick Vermeil, his coach at Kansas City for five seasons. MORE

Healthy diet has Gonzalez in shape, ready to shine in Atlanta

By Jarrett Bell, USA TODAY
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Tony Gonzalez swears he has found a personal fountain of youth, and that it explains how he has so majestically defied pro football's hourglass.
It's on the menu.

Gonzalez, 33, enters his 13th season as the NFL's longest-tenured starting tight end, with no apparent signs of disintegration. Nearing the 200-game milestone, he still has soft hands. His feet remain quick enough to pivot free in the red zone. And as demonstrated during a congested-traffic, 11-on-11 goal-line drill in the Atlanta Falcons camp, he has not lost the knack for making the paydirt catch while two defenders cling tight like parasites.

The All Pro Diet: Lose Fat, Build Muscle, and Live Like a Champion

by Tony Gonzalez, Mitzi Dulan, Chris Gonzalez (Audio)

From the Publisher

Gain strength, stamina, and energy like a pro! For years, professional football player Tony Gonzalez fueled his game-day performances and workouts with a host of popular (and unhealthy) foods like burgers with bacon and cheese, deep-fried chicken wings, shrimp drenched in butter, and steak at least three times a week. When you’re constantly active dodging tackles, sprinting for touchdowns, or in the gym training nearly every day, it doesn’t matter what you eat if you are just going to burn it all off anyway, right? Wrong. What Tony Gonzalez has discovered over the course of his NFL career is that the food choices he makes have a tremendous impact on his performance, energy levels, and long-term health. Faced with a soaring risk for high blood pressure caused, in part, by a subpar diet, Gonzalez overhauled his eating plan and learned how to properly fuel his body with the right foods. The result was a diet that caused a dramatic improvement in his performance on the field and the way he felt off it. By shifting the balance of his diet more toward plant-based and unprocessed foods, Gonzalez has displayed turbocharged strength, stamina, and energy that have made fans, other athletes, and the media sit up and take notice. Now in The All-Pro Diet, with the help of renowned nutritionist Mitzi Dulan, Gonzalez shares the philosophy and strategies that will help you gain the same strength, stamina, and energy of a pro. Packed with delicious recipes, simple strategies for adhering to your new diet, and the muscle-building exercises the pros use to beat out the competition, The All-Pro Diet is the ultimate guide to fueling your body for optimal performance.

ALL-PRO SCIENCE® groundbreaking products sought after by professional athletes such as Troy Tulowitzki, Coy Wire and Tony Richardson

NEWPORT BEACH, CA -- (Marketwire – December 10, 2009) - ALL-PRO SCIENCE® has caught the attention of professional athletes nationwide. With initial endorsement by Atlanta Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez, ALL-PRO SCIENCE® has been approached by several professional athletes, including Colorado Rockies shortstop and 2009 MLB MVP candidate Troy Tulowitzki.

Tulowitzki states, “About a month ago I ordered the 100% Complete Vegan Protein and the Complete Immune-D+ and loved them. I was so excited with the results that I wanted to be a part of The APS® team and share my success with everyone.”

Other notable athletes who have reached out to ALL-PRO SCIENCE® are: Super Bowl XXXIV Champion, Nate Hobgood-Chittick of the St. Louis Rams, Oakland A’s outfielder Shane Keough, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Coy Wire, and New York Jets fullback and NFL Pro Bowler Tony Richardson.

Hobgood-Chittick explains why he got involved with ALL-PRO SCIENCE®. "I have known Tony Gonzalez for a long time. He told me about becoming a vegan and shared with me how much energy he had, so I started to experiment with vegan products. I felt remarkably better and my mind was clearer, however, it was so much work finding food products and protein sources that were vegan compliant. I am grateful that Tony has come out with his line of shakes and supplements. Because of his efforts, I can now enjoy a clean, balanced and delicious vegan shake when ever I want."

Shane Keough points out that, “Playing professional baseball has really shown me that diet alone can't do what adding supplements to your regimen can do. Now that I’ve found a sure thing in APS® supplements, it’s great to know I’m taking only the best ingredients, day in and day out. I am very pleased with APS® products."

ALL-PRO SCIENCE® line includes COMPLETE® 100% vegan protein powder comprised of hemp, brown rice and pea protein, COMPLETE® 100% organic grass-fed whey protein, COMPLETE® Immune-D+ super-antioxidant containing acai and goji berries and grape seed, and COMPLETE® Relief, a liquid roll-on pain reliever. The company will soon be releasing COMPLETE® Recovery Drink, COMPLETE® Multi Vitamin, and COMPLETE® Cleanse.
