Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce has issued a ringing endorsement of football legend Rob Gronkowski's latest venture after he announced his new show with ex-teammate Julian Edelman.
The retired former tight end is already a regular fixture on Fox NFL Sunday alongside his business interests as he enjoys this new chapter in his life after hanging up his cleats. The man known as "Gronk" enjoyed a glittering career on the field, winning four Super Bowl rings during his 11 seasons in the NFL .
Now, the New England Patriots icon has announced his partnership with the entertainment studio Nuthouse, which will see him team up with a familiar face. Taking to social media, the 35-year-old revealed that he will form part of a new series alongside ex-colleague Edelman entitled "Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules".
His post on Instagram read: "Your favorite dudes have finally launched their very own show!" @gronk and @edelman11 here, and we are stoked to announce that we are officially teammates again. Welcome to the world of Dudes on Dudes, with Chiefs ace Kelce duly showing his support, replying: "This is gonna be epic!!!"
The pair are widely considered to be two of the greatest tight ends to have played the game, with Gronkowski having revealed his admiration for the KC man previously. Speaking on the Ryen Russillo Podcast , the retired star said of his peer: "I mean, I believe that Travis Kelce is the best, like, receiving tight end.
"If you're talking about a tight end, he's the best tight end in terms of catching the ball. There's no doubt about it, you can't even argue. I mean, he's had seven 1,000-yard seasons in a row. He's a great red zone target as well and when he's not out on the field, they're not the same team."

Weighing up who was the better player between him and Kelce, the Patriots fan favorite admitted that there is an argument to be had either way. He said: "I would say, look, we were talking about just the way I played the game — old school style — it's an argument.
"It's an argument that I don't want to make the final decision on. It's an argument on, also, what type of offense you're in, what type of style you have in the game, how they're featuring you, what type of system you're in, what players are around you as well. He's just had a great career."
Gronkowski added: "He's taking it to the top, and he just keeps taking it to another level each year. And he's in his thirties, too, he's the same age as me which is incredible, and he's still going at that speed. So I'll leave it up to you guys to debate the top tight end out there."
