Rob Gronkowski, former tight end for the New England Patriots, officially named Las Vegas Raiders’ Brock Bowers as the next greatest tight end. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Gronkowski mentioned Bowers’ name when he was asked who would be the next best tight end after Travis Kelce and George Kittle.
Brock Bowers finished the 2024 NFL season with an impressive 112 receptions for 1,194 yards, scoring five touchdowns for the team. Bowers was the 13th pick in the 1st round of the 2024 NFL draft and also has created a well-rounded impression in his rookie season. Before joining the NFL, Bowers played college football for Georgia.
“That’s an easy pick. That’s Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders. I mean, he absolutely dominated – dominated – this year. He went to the Pro Bowl. He had over 100 catches. He was one of the only reliable targets on the Las Vegas Raiders. Very consistent as well – just has a knack for being able to grow up and grab the ball. Great hands, great concentration, and just the way that he can run after the catch as well – and punish the defenders that are coming to tackle him. He’s phenomenal, man.” Rob Gronkowski said to Sports Illustrated.
Rob Gronkowski is known to be one of the best tight ends in the NFL and played for a total of 11 seasons in the league. Out of that, ‘Gronk played nine seasons with the New England Patriots and two with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rob Gronkowski Does Not Feel Mahomes’ Up To Par With Brady
On another note, Rob Gronkowski went on to comment on Kansas City’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes’ performance and if he sincerely thought that the player was the greatest footballer of all time.
Rob Gronkowski was certainly not afraid of admitting that Tom Brady had already beaten Patrick Mahomes twice in the playoffs. While Gronk stated that Mahomes might certainly be a great player, his greatness is yet to reach the heights of Tom Brady. Brady managed to make it to seven championships and is considered by many to be the greatest footballer of all time.
Mahomes still has many years left on his calendar and might yet surprise fans and analysts. However, analysts have also stated that the player’s stats have been continually dipping since the last couple of seasons. Still, Mahomes is leading the Kansas City Chiefs very well, who will most likely win the upcoming Super Bowl against the Eagles.
