They're the same age, they play the same position, they play the same number, they're both Hall of Fame hopefuls, and many times they've been compared. But they are not the same.

Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce are two of the NFL's standout tight ends, although Rob retired from the gridiron three years ago, Kelce is still in the running. However, the comparisons continue to this day.

The constant contrasts can wear on and even generate fatigue in the protagonists as fans continually highlight their differences. However, both TEs have shared deep iration and respect for each other, even though they know perfectly well that their game, approaches and objectives differ completely. This was reported by The Sport Rush.

Gronk is aware of these comparisons and spoke about them, itting that they don't bother him: "There's really like not a comparison. You can compare us, but we are two totally different players," he began.

It all depends on what kind of scheme you are in as well. They know how to use the skill sets. We have two totally different skill sets by far. He is savvy on the top of the route. I was like, I'm gonna run and I'm just gonna go to the corner. This guy has like eight moves. He's like a wide receiver out there. You can compare us because we both wear the number 87.

Explosive duo

Gronk has repeatedly mentioned his iration for Kelce and believes that, had they played together, they would have broken all records and personal bests.

Gronkowski, known for his dominance with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owns four Super Bowl rings, 5 Pro Bowl and 4 All Pro.

Kelce, on the other hand, has won three Super Bowl rings with the Chiefs, one less than Rob. However, he was a 10-time Pro Bowl and 7-time All Pro.

Undoubtedly, together they would have been unstoppable and Rob knows who would have been his ideal quarterback: his former teammate and seven-time champion, Tom Brady.
