At no point on Thursday when the Patriots play host to the Chiefs will Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce be in action at the same time. But that won’t stop the comparison approaching the season opener.
Who has the better tight end star, the Patriots or Chiefs?
The easy answer is that Gronkowski has had the better career, and Kelce is coming off a better season.
Gronkowski played in eight games last season, posting career lows in receptions (with 25) and touchdowns (three). He underwent back surgery in December and missed the Patriots’ Super Bowl run.
