I don’t know how you combine this with his absolute dominant blocking in the run game and people are saying that Kelce is better than Gronk in his prime. NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!!
I've never seen anything like it except footage of Mike Ditka way back in the 1960's. The fact that Gronk is making similar plays in the modern football era is amazing.
the only problem is the 3 guys capable of tackling him aren't the same guys capable of covering him... You had to cover him with a guy that couldn't tackle him
Gronk is still in his prime. Brady has been using him sparingly in Tampa, because as you can see Gronk likes to sacrifice his body, and takes some brutal hits to bring down and has taken some season ending injuries. Besides Gronk is more valuable as a blocker as long as they have all the other big offensive weapons in Tampa. Bradl saves Gronk for the important things - like getting the lead in the Super Bowl, or a game saving third and long. Gronk is like a secret weapon Brady has been keeping in his pocket until needed - ssh.
The size and strength to compete with linemen, combined with the speed and athleticism to run with DBs. Might as well throw in great hands and high football IQ. He’s been outclassing the best athletes in the world his whole career.
Gronk in his prime wasn't the fastest guy, and he wasn't strongest guy. But he was too strong to be taken down by the guys that could catch him, and too fast to be caught by the guys that could take him down.
@@St0rm301 uhh, gronk is incredibly strong. His blocking on the line is unmatched for the tight end position. And doesn't complain about doing it either.
Gronk was getting injured in New England. The offense was too dependent on him. He needed that year off, and he plays well, in a top heavy offense like Tampa. In New ENgland, he would be double/triple teamed on go to situations. Good for Gronk. And good to NE for letting him go.
I remember how he escorted one the Colts safeties who had been yapping at him to the underside of a camera stanchion. Just buried him after the play! "Threw him outta the club."
He is legend....people call so many guys a legend even those who have never won a super Bowl...very rarely I have heard ppl call Gronk a legend..even after 4 super Bowl..and after bulldozing such a long range of defence... man is Bonafide GOAT candidate...
Can you imagine Gronk and Kelce on the same team in their prime? D coordinators wouldn't sleep for days leading up to that match up. Would still take Gronk first. He was a beast.
He’s the greatest all around TE in my book. He can’t run routes as good as Kelce but he has better hands, blocks better and has better yards after contact. 🐐
Gronkowski is amazing. In addition to Gronkowski's great skills at catching a football under pressure.....we see him power through other tough and strong NFL PROS. Let's not forget these guys trying to tackle him......are highly skilled PROS...who are very strong, very tough and are paid big money to do just one thing. Tackle and bring down opponents running with a football. Hence, the fact that Gronk can power through more than one of them the way that he does.....says a lot about the skill and power of Gronkowski. Observing Gronkowski.....I would have to agree with the many people that say...... he indeed has that Polish Power :D
You have to love this guy, he gave it his all and was tuff as nails. Thanks Rob, you were fun to watch. Sorry buddy, but my Giants ruined your guys chance at the perfect season.
@@TheSinatra yeah early in his career with an elite defense. Brady is the Goat QB no doubt but the big 87 did a lot for him during the second half of his career. They even won in Tampa too!
He threw his entire body into the game. Burned that candle at both ends quick. Love him on the Kelce Bro's shorts (along w Edelman) ... i just wanna buy them the bar and sit in the corner and listen to locker room/on field/ off site stories... "yeah... I was stupid and it was worth it" moments. We are too short lived and too long gone... burn that candle brother.
Rob Gronkowski is the Mike Alstott (Will the Pro Football Hall of Fame put him in already!) of tight ends! No tight end and I mean NO tight end is better after the catch than Rob Gronkowski is!
@@davidparks537 nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I’ve seen Kerrigan as a veteran player almost my entire time watching football so hearing him referenced as a rookie is funny, same thing if someone mentioned that young fella named Joe Montana on the 9ers

If you google Jonah Lomu an ex New Zealand rugby player from the 90s you'll see definitive similarities.. when these big dudes start getting speed it's a hard day at the office trying to bring them down. As always you need to go low, and preferably from the side or they may well run straight over you, and FUCK having a +6ft guys foot slamming straight into your mid section.. that's a broken rib for sure. Gronk paved the way for being a diverse TE... I love this sport so much..Glad 87 is still going hard in 2021, good job getting another ring Rob :D

Size, speed, and power is another level.
There isn’t another tight end that ever put pads on that’s better than gronk in his prime.
Kittle is better than Kelce too imo. He just doesn’t have Mahomes at QB like Kelce.
We all know Kelce isn’t a true TE anymore than Jimmy Graham was. Gronkowski was the last true elite TE.
Kelcie is a phony at the TE position , he can catch but doesn’t have the intangibles like Gronkosaurous Rex
Gronk like the beast mode version of tight ends
We were lucky to have him in NE for as long as we did.
I miss the good ol days!
There was a couple of seasons where him and Hernandez posed a two pronged tight end threat that was a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators.
@@x-x101 that really was a gruesome twosome with those two
@@x-x101 one of the sports pundents called the duo “Shake and bake” it could have been great
I miss these big clunky plays
I was always impressed by how he could catch anything anywhere in any kind of traffic man. One of the most consistent sure handed dudes in the nfl.
That's TEs man. They worry less about getting decapitated as compared to receivers.
If the football is catchable, GRONK never drops ANYTHING
I mwan at his size he didn't havr to worry @@Soulxlight
Best TE of all time. This, coming from a envious Steeler fan (through clenched teeth)
getting to watch brady his whole career then gronk coming in was amazing, i’m gonna miss those days for the rest of my life.
He has some of the greatest highlights in NFL history!
Often overlooked none of those runs would've ever happened if he didn't catch the ball first, Gronk's got a great set of hands,,,Class Dismissed
Hamburger helper mitts
His hand width is exact size of a football
He's a great all around tight end. Fast, good hands, can drag three men into the endzone with him, and often overlooked he's a solid blocker.
There was a time where he was simply unstoppable... Too big too strong
God, prime Gronk was like a real life cheat code. What an animal.
Gronk was one of the all time greatest Patriots players and look what he just did for the Buccaneers. Hall of Famer!!!
the most unstoppable and undeniable force in the history of TE. no debate
He has it all, physical stature, skill, power, speed, his footwork, fends, and change of pace are amazing.
0:48 Gronk is like that uncle at the BBQ who plays tackle football with the kids.
Underrated LOL
and be serious about his physicality lol...
Gronks physique, talent, and attitude are among the very best. So much fun having him in Tampa for a minute.
He’s literally the human version of the train in GTA
never realized how frickin fast he was
It’s crazy, he ran a 4.6 at the combine, insane.
Faster than I thought, good quickness too and actually has hands 🙌 plus he is fun and a excellent blocker. Smart and nice scramble drill guy.
Great hands and biggest catch radius I know.
He’s truly got it all.
Sometimes he has almost the entire opposite team on him & he still scores. Amazing.
Bruh in his prime you needed like 3-4 defenders to bring him down
I've never seen anything like it except footage of Mike Ditka way back in the 1960's. The fact that Gronk is making similar plays in the modern football era is amazing.

WOW. Just WOW! I could watch him all day long., 😉👍
It's like the slowest fast running I have ever seen.
Jason Witten was the slowest slow running I’ve ever seen
It’s like Jokic’s jump shot: somehow he always gets it off and he gets it in

Amongst my household I've campaigned for a new stat, YDOP, yards dragging other players.
That would be a great stat to keep
Loved watching him escort safeties into the end zone

Kielce literally goes down on first contact with a defender with no fight. Gronk on the other hand....
It always baffled me how slow it looks like he’s running but how fast he actually is
There is ALOT of legendary TE but there is only ONE Gronkowski
People really want to say Kelce is better than Gronk was. That’s like saying Michael Thomas is better than Julio was in his prime. It’s just nonsense.
As a Patriots fan (and now a Bucs fan), I obviously like Gronk. But I would take Kelce on either team anytime.

What a frickin beast.

Gronk is like a TE version of the Juggernaut.
Can you imagine playing tackle football with that guy in the backyard when you were growing up.
He has 3 or 4 brothers who all play sports too, and they are all massive. I can’t imagine playing his whole family in backyard football
hes such a damn workhorse. hall of famer for sure.

the guy is too massive to go for a solid hit. He'll truck you or just push you away lol
Damn, just....DAMN!!!
