NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez was inspired by Rob Gronkowski coming back out of retirement and is joking that he wants to come back, too.

Gonzalez shared a video of himself working out, and he looks like he could play again for sure. He also said he wants to play alongside Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2020.

Though we’re (pretty) sure this is a tongue-in-cheek response to the Gronk news, it’s still great.

Inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last summer as a first-ballot inductee, Gonzalez is widely regarded as one of the best tight ends to ever play the game. He spent most of his time with the Chiefs before finishing out his years in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, earning 14 Pro Bowl bids and six First-team All-Pro nods over the course of his legendary career.
