WAN Cisco Router for 1Gb circuit?

My company wants to utilize Google Fiber small business for our backup ISP, and we're trying to purchase a router for the circuit termination as they provide their WAN IPs via static DHCP reservation and this doesn't work for an ASA Pair in Active/Standby. My manager tasked me with getting a quote for a router for this circuit, ideally something cheap that can handle 1 Gig throughput. I'm looking at some options and trying to understand why a router like a Cisco 4221 ISR has 2x 1Gb interfaces, but lists throughput as only 35 Mbps?

Any recommendations for a router that would fit this need? All this device needs to be doing is NAT and terminating the Google Fiber copper handoff. Thanks!
