Tampa Bay Buccaneers star tight end Rob Gronkowski has nothing but praise for his Kansas City Chiefs counterpart Travis Kelce.
During his media session on Monday prior to Super Bow LV, Gronkowski outright said Kelce is “the best player on the Chiefs' offense.” Furthermore, Gronkowski, who is arguably the best tight end in NFL history, gave a very truthful statement about Kelce's impressive career (via Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star).
Rob Gronkowski on Travis Kelce: "One thing that’s very intriguing about Travis Kelce, and I’ve never really seen this with any other player in the NFL ever before, is that Kelce gets better every single year that I’ve seen him play in the NFL."

The career numbers of the fleet-footed Kelce indeed show that he ups the ante every season, improving in different facets across the board. This season, he averaged a career-high 1,416 receiving yards, which is also the most by any tight end in a single campaign in NFL history, surpassing San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle. Kelce also tallied career-bests of 105 receptions and 11 touchdowns.
Considering that Kelce is only 31 years old and is in the midst of his prime, it wouldn't be surprising if he tops his numbers this past season, which is clearly the best of his laudable career, or even Gronkowski's laundry list of achievements.
Kelce is seeking his second straight Super Bowl title after helping Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs win it last year. But he will have his magic hands full against the three-time champion Gronkowski in Super Bowl LV. Many fans are eagerly awaiting their head-to-head matchup.
Rob Gronkowski may have showered Travis Kelce with praises prior to Sunday, there will be no love lost between the two multiple Pro Bowl tight ends once they square off on the field.
