Rob Gronkowski Names a Young Tight End Who he Thinks Could be Better than Him

Brock Bowers' NFL career is off to a hot start, while it's only been two games the results have been promising, now his teammates and an NFL legend are taking notice.

On a recent appearance on the show Up & Adams hosted by Kay Adams Davante Adams and Rob Gronkowski spoke about the performance by Bowers so far, and his potential moving forward.

"He literally only cares about football he shows some promise of looking like this guy [Gronkowski] that's on the screen with us right now," said Adams. "This young player is on a different level for a rookie, and I think Baltimore got to feel that a little bit."

Receiving that high of praise from a teammate is always good to hear for a rookie trying to make a name for themselves in the league, when that teammate is Davante Adams is means even more. However for Bowers it wasn't just Adams hyping him up, arguably the greatest tight-end in NFL history joined in.

"The guy is a winner, the guy is a playmaker whenever the ball is thrown to him I love his explosiveness after the catch. I feel like he's on track to be better than myself," said Gronkowski.

It's safe to say the Bowers hype train is alive and real with more people hopping on every passing week. Through two weeks he has the record for most receptions by a rookie tight-end with 15, he also has 156 yards according to ESPN .

Going into Week 3 playing a weak Carolina Panthers team Bowers has the chance to emerge with his official breakout game, and maybe even finally find his way into the end-zone.
