“I Knew We Were Smarter Than AI”: Rob Gronkowski Jokes as Travis Kelce Chases Super Bowl Record

In a recent lighthearted exchange, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski jested about artificial intelligence (AI) underestimating Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, Travis Kelce’s Super Bowl achievements. During a discussion, Gronkowski noted that an AI summary inaccurately credited Kelce with only one Super Bowl victory, whereas Kelce has secured three championships with the Chiefs. Gronkowski quipped, “AI [is] not right here. Super Bowl victories. Gotta make it plural… he [has] got three, AI… I knew we were smarter than AI.”
This exchange highlights the camaraderie and mutual respect between two of the NFL’s most accomplished tight ends. Gronkowski, a four-time Super Bowl champion, has consistently praised Kelce’s contributions to the game. In previous discussions, Gronkowski acknowledged that if the Chiefs achieved a third consecutive Super Bowl win, it would be a historic feat, stating, “I mean, if the Chiefs three-peat, it’s history…you’ve got to give them credit for doing that.”
Kelce, at 35, continues to defy age-related expectations, maintaining peak performance levels. His dedication to the sport and consistent excellence have sparked debates about his standing among the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Analysts like Shannon Sharpe have weighed in on the GOAT tight end debate, citing Kelce’s consistency and longevity as key factors that might place him above others, including Gronkowski.
As Kelce prepares for his 13th NFL season, his pursuit of further Super Bowl success remains a focal point. Despite a challenging Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Kelce is determined to return stronger, aiming to add another championship to his illustrious career.
The friendly banter between Gronkowski and Kelce not only showcases their mutual respect but also underscores the evolving narrative of greatness at the tight end position in the NFL.
