Gronk was dragging 3 all-pro calibre defenders in for touchdowns. People had to see him play to understand how unbelievably unstoppable he was at his peak.
Mike Ditka was one of the best Tight Ends of all time. The younger football fans might know him as a coach and a broadcaster, but he wouldn't be named “Iron Mike” if he is not a solid force on the football field. Ditka was a three-sport athlete in college but decided to pursue football when he was drafted fifth overall by the Chicago Bears in the 1961 NFL Draft. It didn’t take long before his impact was felt, enabling him to win Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. Ditka was a part of the Cowboys team that won Super Bowl VI over the Miami Dolphins. His accomplishments also include five All-Pro and five Pro Bowl selections. The former Pittsburgh Panther finished his NFL career with 427 catches for 5,812 yards and 43 touchdowns.
2 things for gronk as well, he was targetted relentlessly and that definitely led to some of his injuries, also he partied a lot so the fact that he could still play at that level is insane.
You bringing up Rob Gronkowski gave me PTSD flashbacks to the Steelers playing soft zone against Tom Brady and leaving the middle of the field empty for 15+ yard gains.
He still had 2 good years with seattle but yeah he definately wouldve kept getting fed in that system was a mismatch nightmare and the saints maybe couldve made it farther with him
Good list. Gronk had the physicality of freak monster paired with the hands of an all-time receiver. Not to mention his blocking was so good that he was sometimes schemed as essentially another offensive lineman. Nobody will ever come close to him in my lifetime.
I think the play that caused Gronk to be really injury prone was the play you showed against the Chiefs were he leaps over a defender to get into the ended zone but lands awkwardly on the back of his head and shoulders and his momentum bring his legs up to where he practically gets folded in half. He definitely got hurt and wasn't the same after that.
4:27 Sterling Sharpe's career really is one of the bigger what if's in NFL history. He was an All-Pro while playing through a career ending injury, so you really have to wonder what might have been if he hadn't had that neck problem. He made the Pro-Bowl 5 out of the seven years he played and had actually absurd numbers for his time. 9:31 Gronk made Brady entertaining to watch. That by itself, is almost enough to justify him being at number 1. Its kinda funny looking back and realizing he had durability issues and missed a ton of games when I promise you it felt like he was fucking invincible on the field watching him. It was like giving Mario a Mega Mushroom and a Star at the same time during some games.
John Mackey was one of the greatest and the toughest TE in NFL's History he certainly didn't disappoint in the NFL in his Prime but in College Football they named the Trophy the John Mackey Award as one of the best TE in the nation R.I.P to the legendary Hall Of Famer🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 1:08
i agree that gronk is better than kelce, but instead of having them be ranked 1 and 2 i think it should be 1a and 1b. you want a better blocker, big bruiser while having the go up and get it ability, get gronk. if you want a te that can run the route tree & play a slot wr role, pick kelce. both are great and both have mastered their own unique skill set
gronk and kelce are 1a and 1b depends on my mood tbh for who is better, gronk definitely peaked higher but kelce has been healthier and has better totals (debatably)
Yeah, their career accolades are similar, and I don't think they're as different in terms of blocking as we've been led to believe-Kelce gets very few blocking opportunities because of how the Chiefs distribute his snaps, and while he's never going to pancake a linebacker, he'll get in the right people's way. If Kelce returns to All-Pro form at least once or twice more, and continues to chip away at Jerry Rice's records, I think his longevity gives him that extra boost over Gronk. I wouldn't want to tackle either one of 'em.
@@dfp_01That’s an interesting point. You can’t go wrong with either one, but your view on longevity vs peak is what this comes down to. Also in general blocking for tight ends has become overlooked because there’s no stats associated with it that are mainstream, so it’s definitely worth noting. Calling those two close is fair.
I’m glad you brought up blocking with Rob Gronkowski. I remember in 2018 when people were saying he was washed but you should have seen him out there in the edge. He was like a 6th lineman, it was fucking wild.
Gronk has the most dominant run ever for a tight end in NFL history but Kelce has been great for longer. Give me Gronk’s peak but Kelce for an entire career.
Gronk did this thing where he would bait defenders into trying to jam him at the line and they would be screwed because he wanted them close and he played to contact. Smart player, kicking your tail physically and mentally.
As someone that makes lists like these as well, I really enjoy videos like this to get a different perspective. Personally I have Ditka in my top 10 instead of Newsome; and I also have Mackey a bit higher than some of the other guys here. Top 3 is a close race between the same three guys you have here. I gave Tony G the edge over Gronk and Kelce cause of his longevity, consistency and he didn't always play with the best quarterbacks (moreso with the Chiefs).
I think heath Miller deserves to be on this list more than kittle... guy was always reliable as a blocker and a pass catcher and was Ben's safest target to throw to... not to mention he was a key reason why Pittsburgh won those 2 super bowls... the man made clutch plays when the steelers needed them the most other than that I agree with this list
Basically everything u said about Witten could apply to heath as well... reliable, solid, consistent, always open, had great longevity as well, plus 2 super bowls, and no cringy broadcast career
I actually heard this music first in Jenna Marbles videos she had it often or that siren hip-hop theme with the guitar riff that lots of content creators use now
As a Chiefs fan, this is the one goat debate I’ve conceded too. Just off the eye test, I’ve seen Gronk make catches no other TE or Receiver was making in triple coverage. Bailed out Fraud Brady in a million occasions
Tight end is one of those positions where I think it is pretty easy to pick a top 10, it's just not easy to order them. In some order, Gonzalez, Witten, Kelce, Gronkowski, Sharpe, Gates, and Winslow (Sr.) are your top 7, and you can argue the merits of Olsen, Graham, and either Ditka, Newsome, or Shockey after them. Kittle and Andrews are likely well on their way into the top 10, but they're not there yet.
I live near the town Jason whiten grew up in, Elizabethton, TN. He does a lot for the town, especially the high school. Seems like a real cool guy, wish I could meet him.
love to know what you think of Jay Novacek, Brent Jones and Mark Bavaro. they all arrived in the league in the late 80s to 90s and they all established themselves as safety valve receivers for their respective teams, the 49ers and Cowboys being dynasties. Bavaro was the best blocking tight end in the game, and Jones and Novacek were clutch receivers, especially on third down, when Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin were being double covered. they don't have the video game numbers or the longevity of the listed TEs here, but they're still something impressive to watch, if you ever wanna relive an NFL where tackling is legal.
I think it’s fair to put Gronk at number 1 but if I had to choose whose career I would want on my team, I’m taking Kelce 9/10 times. He’s so effective in the passing game and has stayed much healthier than Gronk
Barry is so wholesome to take time away from spending time with his wifes boyfriend to make this video to help save all the people from marijuanna overdoses
Counterpoint about injuries stopping Gronk. Yes he suffered many injuries throughout his career and retired young because of them. But he still came back strong after suffering some very serious injuries. In 2013, he tore both his MCL and ACL in his right knee (also apparently got a concussion on the same play). In 2014, he played 15 games. Caught 12 TDs and over 1100 receiving yards. He then put up similar stats in 2015 as well. Not saying he didn't have an injury-ridden career, but the man took everything the game had to throw at him before he slowed down.
Barry one question: Do you think when Kelce's playing career ends, he surpasses Gronk? Nice vid though. Also vid suggestion, Top 10 NFL Current Head Coaches. (Key word: Current)
I’m a chiefs fan so Kelce is my top pick but I respect Gronk’s placement on this list. I think if Kelce stays healthy for a few more seasons he can put the debate to rest but right now I can see the arguments for either one. I like the video.
Inb4 Barry absolutely disrespects the hell out of Tony Gonzalez for absolutely no reason while arguing Antonio Gates or somebody ridiculous is number one
Jason Witten certainly was the real deal with the Cowboys a former Tennessee Volunteers Alumni was the heart and soul with the team who drafted him in 3rd Round but continue to be the absolute BEST in the NFL! 1:48
Gronk was so strong that defenders started tackling near his knees to bring his down, thus causing all his injuries. He dragged defenders 5 yards with him to the endzone and was legitimately a 6th o-lineman.
Imagine how Tony Gonzalez would've been doing on the Patrick Mahomes Chiefs of the last 5 of years 🤔 His career would Not have been wasted, I tell you that
Gronk isn’t the best te. He was injured all the time which is a huge factor. Availability is the best ability doesn’t matter how dominant you are when you play if you’re never playing. I’m not gonna say a guy who had 4-5 great years is better than a guy who had 10+ great years
Shannon Sharpe was a 3X Super Bowl Champ with the Broncos from 1997 to 1998 & Ravens in the year 2000 but he certainly was amazing player he talk to talk but he can back it up too one way or another but he got the job done as well! 4:08
I’ll still pound the table for T-Gonz. His lack of rings/playoff success is definitely a QB disability. Not his fault. Gronk and Kelce are gifted with the two greatest QBs of this century. You could only imagine what Tony could’ve done with that. I think there were actually rumors he could’ve been traded to NE at one point. Him and Gronk on the same team would’ve just been flat out unfair to the rest of the league.
Antonio Gates was the absolute BEST TE cause that was Philip Rivers favorite target in the NFL with the Chargers not bad for a guy who played basketball at Kent State University Golden Flashers! 4:40
Good list! I agree with most of it. With regards to the Patriots, it is crazy to think how dominant the Gronk + Hernandez combo would’ve been, had they been able to play together for decades to come rather than just on their rookie deals. I still watch highlights from time to time. I feel like Aaron Hernandez utilization in the Pats offense created the blueprint for Kelce and other TEs today, given that he mainly acted as a Y receiver more than a TE
To be fair, gronk also had the best QB ever (especially in the short pass game which I’d imagine is more beneficial for a tight end) and went up against a weak AFC East conference
If the niners actually threw the ball to Kittle he’d destroy the league . Kyle shannahan ( autistic man) and jimmy hospital passes G didn’t let this man shine
Another reason I gave the edge to Gronk over Kelce is that Kelce has had much better QB play than Gronk ever had.
I was drinking water while reading this. I choked, no offense to the falcons, and now I’m dead. Thanks Barry

Bro what as a bills fan Tom Brady is way better than mahomes

He also won the 1963 NFL Championship with the Bears
Q
"Yoinger" Lol I'm 48 and I only saw him coach
The NFL fumbled so hard not making Gates first ballot
Gronk might also be one of the greatest blocking TEs of all time. The dude could have played offensive tackle if he had gained some weight.
I agree, if Gronk was 300lbs he quite possibility could have been a HOF tackle
I’m glad he had the clip of the play. Gronk “throwing him out of the club” was one of best plays/sound bits ever.
What’s crazy is he wasn’t that far from a tackle’s weight. He was a fantastic receiver at 20-30 pounds heavier than his peers.
No Brady slander when talking about Gronk? What's happened to you, Barry?
Barry's getting soft on Brady
@@VarsityAthlete04I never got the impression he had a hard on for Brady.
