Rob Gronkowski reveals why he would rank Travis Kelce over himself as he praises Chiefs star

Rob Gronkowski has shared an attribute that Travis Kelce has over him as the former Patriots tight end only had good things to say about his Chiefs counterpart. 

On Friday, the 35-year-old 'Gronk' was stopped by YouTuber Funny Marco at Fanatics Fest, where he linked up with former Patriots teammate and 'brother' Tom Brady, as he was asked an intriguing question that he probably didn't expect. 

'Last question: Do you put Kelce over you?' Funny Marco dared to ask. 


'Aw man... For longevity, yes,' Gronk replied.

'Right now?' Funny Marco added before the four-time Super Bowl champ answered: 'Yes. He's still going... I'm not. I'm on the bench.'

Intriguingly, Gronk and Kelce were both born the same year in 1989, but were drafted three years apart. 

Gronk played 11 NFL seasons in his career on the Pats and Bucs', while Kelce is set to enter his 12th year on the Chiefs.

Gronk also had his say over who he would choose between Kelce and George Kittle - the 49ers' tight end.

'I'm going with Kelce,' said the NFL's 2014 Comeback Player of the Year. 

'Because he's come through more in the Super Bowl than Kittle. So it's Kelce...'

Kelce's Chiefs have beaten Kittle's 49ers in two Super Bowls, including the one in Las Vegas in February. 

However, in spite of that, both tight ends are close off the field. 

They were seen partying on stage a Nashville bar together back in June.
