Gronk has spoken.
The Athletic's Daniel Brown asked the former New England Patriots tight end in the leadup to Super Bowl LIV who he would take between 49ers star George Kittle and Kansas City Chiefs counterpart Travis Kelce. There are no wrong answers, considering either can credibly claim themselves to be the NFL's best tight end since Gronkowski retired last March.
Gronkowski, though, has a personal preference.
“Kittle, for sure,’’ Gronkowski told Brown in Miami. “Because he just reminds me of myself a little bit with the way he plays the game.”
In 2018, Kittle and Kelce broke Gronkowski's single-season record for the most receiving yards by a tight end.
