We already know he is elite. Is he the best TE of all time?

    1. Winning - He has a super bowl win under his belt. Winners win and that's a known fact. Enough said on that.

    2. Yards - He already has over 6000 yards under his belt at the young age of 27. Barring getting hit by a bus tomorrow or blowing a knee cap into pieces, he's on a pretty good pace. Maybe won't catch Tony Gonzalaz, but it's enough to land him on the list of all time greats already.

    3. Touchdowns - Already #3 on this list. Could easily end up #1 barring unforseen circumstance (see above). He has a pretty cool touchdown celebration too. Extra points for that.

    4. Good person - Gronk loves kittens. That's a known fact. This shows a softer side to pair with his frat boy sex symbol persona. This makes him marketable as the face of the NFL. He is also well-spoken and loves Jesus. Gronk could be President someday he is so well liked, only because Jesus' job is taken.

    5. Boston Strong - Gronk is a born Bostonian. Puts the city on his back and is a hero to all. He symbolizes the dreams of so many young folk in Bean town. This is kind of like "good person " but I felt it deserved it's own point.. It's my list.

    So there is my argument why Gronk is the best TE of all time. Feel free to volunteer your opinons in the comment section! Thanks for reading!

    Here is some football talk for you. Come be a man and talk about Gronk's place in the all-time TE conversation. Unless your a hypocrite.

    I had to retire from fantasy football the year I got Randy Moss in the 4th round that year he set all those records on the Pats. Tom Brady was my QB and I had Portis and two other good RBs that I forget now. I wish Gronk was around back then. Would have somehow stolen him in the 5th round. I felt bad for everyone else in the league and gave it up that year. Wen t out on top. Felt good.

    He's a damn good blocker too which is what sets him apart from most other elite receiving tight ends.

    The only thing that can keep him from clear GOAT standing is injuries. He's the best on a per game basis rather easily.

    It's too early to tell. If he continues this pace for another four or five years, sure he's definitely up there. This is his sixth year? I remember watching Foles and him at Arizona. It was fun.

    As much as Tom Brady is an annoying, sniveling little bitch, I don't think Gronk is what he is today without him (and Belichik). There was an article in SI where Gronk attributes much of what he learns to Brady. Brady can't have too many more years left...I mean who plays in the NFL at 40? It will be interesting to see what happens when Jeanine Garrapalo or whatever that guy's name is takes over (or whomever). I can't see his production staying that high. It will still be really good.

    Gronk is from suburban Buffalo.

    But still, great player.

    You don't have to be born in Boston to be a born Bostonian.

    I read an article that said Gronk ran over Adam "Pacman" Jones after a catch last Sunday. Gronk stood over him and yelled, "How'd that feel little guy?"

    I love picturing that scenario. Gronk is awesome.

    Gronk approves of Chris Hogan.
