Rob Gronkowski Clears Air on ‘Being Sick Of’ Travis Kelce Comparisons & Strongly Shuts Down the Talks Once and for All

Rob Gronkowski, the former New England Patriots tight end, has addressed ongoing comparisons between himself and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, emphasizing the distinct differences in their playing styles and roles within their respective teams.

 

In a recent interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s “Zolak & Bertrand,” Gronkowski highlighted that while both he and Kelce have achieved remarkable success, their contributions on the field differ significantly. Gronkowski described himself as a “complete tight end,” noting his involvement in both the passing game and as a blocker. He elaborated, “I’m built at 6-foot-6, 265 [pounds] to be a complete package, be in-line, blocking tackles, blocking linebackers, blocking defensive ends.

 

 

In contrast, Gronkowski pointed out that Kelce’s role within the Chiefs’ offense is more focused on the passing game, with less emphasis on blocking duties. He acknowledged that their differing physical builds and team strategies have shaped their unique roles, stating, “Travis Kelce is built differently than I am. He’s built to be in that type of offense and to be that type of player, and to not really be used in the blocking game as much as a guy like myself.”

Gronkowski also reflected on how his blocking responsibilities contributed to his success in the passing game. He credited the play-action offense for creating opportunities, mentioning that it “got me basically half of my yards as well when Tom [Brady] just faked the hand-off and just dumped it to me.

While acknowledging the frequent comparisons between himself and Kelce, Gronkowski expressed satisfaction with his own playing style and career, stating, “I’m very satisfied with the style that I played, man, and I would never see myself playing a different style either, ever.”

This perspective underscores Gronkowski’s appreciation for the diverse skill sets that tight ends can bring to the game, highlighting that direct comparisons may overlook the unique contributions each player makes within their team’s offensive scheme.
