Rob Gronkowski: Top 10 player under 25
The word "Beast" is grossly overused in today's sports vernacular. However, in Gronk's case, there is no better term to describe him. In just his second season, he established himself as the best tight end in the NFL. He hauled in 90 balls for 1,327 yards and 17 TDs (a record for tight ends). He had multiple TDs in seven different regular season games. He has ideal size, speed and hands. His ability to use his frame to wall-off defenders on third down is a huge luxury for Tom Brady. I'd also rank him as the second best red-zone target in the NFL behind only Detroit's Calvin Johnson.
In a slow time for Patriots news, this article is the news of the day. It'd be more of a shock if Gronkowski wasn't on this list, he's probably one of the top players in this league, nevertheless one under 25.
Also, don't you believe Aaron Hernandez should make this list? He's one of the top tight ends in this league too, and while he may not have the touchdowns (still, he had 7 last year), he has the yards.
Do you think Hernandez should've been included on the list?
