49ers George Kittle gets Gronk’s endorsement as NFL’s supreme tight end

They both love WWE. They are new-age tight ends who block (and who relish blocking) like tackles and catch like wide receivers.

So by the power vested in me as a dues paying NFL know-it-all, I now pronounce you, George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski, bro besties.

You may exchange fist bumps.

I freely admit that I am egregiously late to this comparison. The new component in this dynamic: Gronk. The Patriots’ force of nature, retired (but NFL — not for long — it says here), recently appeared on the Lefkoe Show, on which he was asked who he would pick as the best tight end in the NFL.
