Rob Gronkowski is one of the best all-round tight ends in the NFL. He is in the top five among tight ends in the NFC in receiving yards and is also tied for the lead above all of them with six touchdown receptions. Kyle Pitts, who was selected to the Pro Bowl, has only one touchdown this season. Gronkowski is also one of the best run blocking tight ends in the NFL, which helps his Pro Bowl case as well.
