[Retiring at end of current term.] Before his 2018 election to the House, Anthony Gonzalez was most famous for catching touchdown passes from Peyton Manning during five years with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. Professional football helped prepare him for Congress, he said. “In football — obviously it’s a competitive game — people are literally trying to knock your head off a little bit,” Gonzalez told the NFL Network. “Politics is sort of similar, it just happens in a different way.”
