I’m Canadian and my buddy wanted to go see the Steelers vs NE. Gronk and Brady won them that game in Pittsburgh. It was the best game of the year and Gronk caught every single meaningful pass in the 4th to put them up
Take a picture of gronk and it's usually 1 of 3 things 1) catching a fade route for a TD 2) Carrying several full grow men on his back 3) an earth shaking spike
Gronk is the encapsulation of the motto “larger than life”, you got a real, genuine feeling that he just loved the game of football and it rewarded him with a stellar career. Gronk is a once in a lifetime player and hopefully he sticks around and goes into broadcasting or presenting for the NFL. Get him to replace David Baker for the Hall of Fame
@@syndrac6254 the only thing Tony was better at was route running. But he couldn’t pass or run block as well Gronk and the hands aren’t even in the same class
Watching him was the first time an athlete would give me anxiety. You didn’t know what was gonna happen, he could stiff arm someone, hurdle them, drag them, run them over, but every time he got the ball you clinched cause you were nervous he would get taken out down low. I hate the way he looks at his time with the patriots, it breaks my heart but he was so fun to watch is an understatement.
You do realize he had 27 touchdown catches his first two years in New England 10 his rookie year and 17 touchdown catches his sophomore season he was used beautifully in New England I do agree that you couldn't body tackle the guy hence the reason people started taking him out at the knees and ankles and the reason he got hurt the people who say that Kelsey is better than him don't understand football Kelsey is nothing but a hybrid wide receiver as he doesn't really block and doesn't run people over or have gronks catch radius
Those accolades don't really put into perspective of how good Gronk was though, the only reason he was just a 4x pro bowler/all pro was because of the countless injuries. Dude would have been a 10x all pro if it weren't for that.
Also would have had like 130 touchdowns with 15,000 yards or something along those lines. His body just wasn't built for longevity unfortunately, he took a beating. I personally think his body type was like a gift/curse. He was like an inflatable tube man, his body wasn't super sturdy and solid, he was always flailing his limbs around, which made it difficult for players to tackle him, but also made him prone to getting hurt.
@@greyk610 Sure his body was a bit fragile but you gotta mention the fact that he was so hard to tackle that defenders started hitting him dirty. Gronk was constantly getting his legs driven into by multiple 200+ lbs men running full force several times a game. That type of wear and tear would injure anyone.
I played tight end in college and he was the definition of the prototype every coach was looking for. Every aspect of his game was 5 star recruit. And his tenacity and toughness was underrated. The only thing that wasn’t what the coaches loved was that he was a diva for periods of his career. But it didn’t matter because he was so damn good. It’s rare to see a player dominate a position like that but he was so far and away the best tight end in history it wasn’t even close
@@KingdomCre8tive Kelce is good, but he looks more like a receiver than a TE, he is more elusive but he is not a dominant blocker like gronk, he is not superior in contested catches, and when he is about to be tackled he only throws himself to the floor, gronk always used his size in his favour and was very difficult to treat, no one like him
@@KingdomCre8tive Gronk was so dominant at his peak that defenders literally had to get dirty to tackle him. Prime Gronk was seriously not of this world.
Gronk definitely deserves top spot, and all the people saying he was “too injury prone” they just hating. To be honest it was his play style and being aggressive that made him injury prone but also such a good player and at the end of the day for how much these guys get paid as long as he leaves it all out on the field then hats off.
The thing about Gronkowski is that he revolutionized the tight end position. Up until this point, you either had TE’s who could 1.) block or 2.) catch really well. Sometimes you’d get ones who could do both ‘good’. Gronkowski did both great. He was a beast of a lineman and a beast of a receiver. His hands were amazing and he was so hard to bring down. He also played a lot less snaps than Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates, so of course his stats won’t be as large as theirs. Easily one of (if not the best) TE of all time.
So grateful I got to see Brady, Edelman and Gronk all take the field at the same time. Gronk was the most dominant TE ever in his prime, he was unstoppable
@@bradthompson5383 That hit was insane. I remember seeing him struggle after that and thought for sure he was coming out for the rest of the game. He really put his body on the line for that ring.
@@waffles5433 I still remember the low hit he took against the Browns in 2013. It was painful to see him carted off, if he wouldn't have suffered sny injuries he would own all the TE records.
Yeah. Before all the injuries, not just the greatest TE of all-time, but also one of the greatest receivers of all-time. If you doubt that: 65 receiving touchdowns in his first 80 regular season games, 12 receiving touchdowns in his first 11 postseason games. And as I recall, for a few years, he had the most touchdowns of anyone in the league (rushing or receiving) since entering the league.
7:51 should've been number one, all things considered. That play won the Super Bowl and was his final play as a Patriot. Not to mention how hard that catch was
People are gonna be saying Kelce was better and we Gronk fans have to remind people. There was no weapon in history like Gronk as he was an extra linemen out there at the same time.....people have short memories
Kelce more like a WR tight end. His blocking is sub par. Kelce is also not as big as Gronk, and Gronk played very physical. He never slid or ran out of bound. Kekce does so he doesnt get hurt. Both are incredible, and Kelce is still playing. My nod is still going to the Gronkster.
I mean, technically he did have over 100. 92 in the regular season + 15 in the postseason = 107 total touchdown catches in the NFL. Just for good measure, he also had 1 rushing touchdown from the only rush of his entire career. It was only 2 yards, but still.
One of the most dominant players of all time, their was no stopping Gronk at his best. Look at the 2017 Steelers game, gronk single-handedly won the patriots that game.
I dont watch nfl anymore but I am proud to say I witnessed every single moment in gronks on field career for pats lol I remember his every single play for pats in this video 😂 Mann This guy made my winters every year 😂
I don't care what anyone else says. Gronk is the best TE in the history of the NFL. There were other greats like Gates and Gonzales, but they were really wide receivers, not TE's. They had speed and finesse. Gronk is a true TE with his power and hands.
Hopefully he decides to comeback in the middle of the season and play the last season with brady. I have seen every game gronk has played for me his the best TE ever.
As amazing as Gronkowski was making plays in the field what usually gets overlooked is that he might’ve had the potential to be one of the best tackles in the league, his blocking was insane
THIS IS ART... this machine was faster than DB's, stronger than LB's and some DT's, better hands than WR's, more stamina AND physicality than RB's, PLUS he could BLOCK LIKE OT's and liked to do it! WTF! True Unicorn. Hell, he could probably play QB too but doesn't wanna make Tom look bad lol.
There's been great tight ends. But thank you for giving us Gronk! No tight end has the talent he has. His SB TD's and playoff touchdowns will never be caught. He definitely contributed to 3 SB wins, and a 7th for Brady!! 💯🏈🏆🏆🏆🏆
Was born in 01 in Mass, played football, including winning the state title in Gillette Stadium. Saw pretty much the entire dynasty including my cousin David Givens. Gronk was the most dominant player I ever saw. In the preseason he caught a pass vs the Rams and dragged the defender 10 yards on his ankle before reaching for the end zone. Seeing that live, I knew we had a steal even as a second round pick.
Basically Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski making life hell for the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington whatevers and Denver Broncos
You have a tight end who has mastered the over the shoulder catch, matched with a QB who has mastered the over the shoulder throw. It truly is unstoppable, wild to see.
Yeah, as an Eagles fan I remember just not being able to stop Brady/Gronk...We did everything we could, but both still destroyed us. Thank god for Brandon Graham.
Gronk is by far the best he did everything! Kelce can catch that's all Tony can catch and block decently. Kettle can catch, block well, but can be shout down.
3. One handed catch against Broncos 2. Game against Colts where he flipped into the end zone 1. Super Bowl 53. That catch was one for posterity. And an all time Gronk classic.
Every once in a while a player comes along who is truly special, Gronk is an excellent example of one of those special players that simply breaks the game because of how incredible they are.
Gronk is the best TE to ever do it. He was so amazing to watch and some of his catches had me saying how did he catch that. Not only could he run and catch the ball he could block with the best of em. The man was a freak of nature. Thanks Gronk for all the year's you dominated. It was fun to watch you play. Can't wait to see you get that gold jacket and be in the Hall of Fame.
He was Brady’s best receiver as a TE and he was also a 6th offensive lineman every play, to me there is no other TE in history that did what he could and that’s why he is the GOAT TE
Dude had a HOF career against the Steelers alone
Yes…yes he did.
I’m Canadian and my buddy wanted to go see the Steelers vs NE. Gronk and Brady won them that game in Pittsburgh. It was the best game of the year and Gronk caught every single meaningful pass in the 4th to put them up

When did he say that?

Goodbye to greatness. Goodbye Gronk - & thanks. Legend.
Brady’s throwing agenda: Find someone open if they don’t look open pass it to Gronk and get your next touchdown
In the highlights from the beginning of his career, before all the injuries, he was just unstoppable. Absolute beast
It's hilarious 99% of his routes are go routes. He played like a video game.

Old school body in a new century player.
