Several mementos from Tony Gonzalez's record day in Kansas City have arrived at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Gonzalez set a new mark for career touchdown receptions by a tight end when he caught his 63rd TD pass during Week 6 action.

The jersey, gloves, and shoes worn by the Chiefs tight end will be placed on display in the Hall's Pro Football Today exhibition area.

Gonzalez, now in his 11th NFL season, made the 3-yard catch in the first quarter to assume sole possession atop the list from former Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe. 

Another crucial TD reception came midway through the fourth quarter as the Chiefs defeated the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-20, at Arrowhead Stadium on October 14.
