Gonzalez is entering his second season in the NFL, although he is hoping to find a sticking spot. Gonzalez signed with the Arizona Cardinals in 2020 after not being selected in the NFL draft. But Gonzalez was released by the team prior to the start of the NFL season.
If Gonzalez manages to hold on to a roster spot with the Bills, then he could potentially play in the 2021 season opener against some of his former teammates on the Pittsburgh Steelers, including tight end Pat Freiermuth.
