The competition for supremacy in the NFL at any position will always exist regardless of the players’ personal relationships. Everyone wants to be known as the best, and the Kansas City Chiefs are among the few teams with several players who can rightfully live up to that claim for their respective position groups.
Retired NFL champion Rob Gronkowski was among the many stars who appeared on Friday, day one of the inaugural Fanatics Fest in New York City. He took time during the day to speak with comedian Funny Marco about his choice for the top tight end in the league. The multiple-time Super Bowl champion put Chiefs star Travis Kelce over him, and current San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle.

“For longevity, yes, he’s (Kelce) still going. I’m on the bench,” Gronkowski said in the short video posted to the NFL’s X account. “I’m going with Kelce because he’s come through in the Super Bowl more than Kittle, so it’s Kelce.”
Gronkowski played for the Tampa Buccaneers in their Super Bowl LV-winning game against the Chiefs, while Kelce defeated Kittle’s 49ers in two separate Super Bowl matchups.
