Didnt' know Ditka was That good, Mike Ditka (1961) 56 catches 1,076 yards 19.2 yrd per carry and 12 td. But the Gronk is better
Rob Gronkowski follows in Mike Ditka's footsteps as elite tight ends - Kerry J. Byrne - SI.com
Rob Gronkowski of the Patriots might be the perfect tight end.
His long, lanky frame creates a large "catching radius," to use the trendy buzz phrase. He moves with remarkable speed and agility for such a large man (6-foot-6, 265 pounds). He's muscular enough and tough enough to stomp on overmatched defensive backs like a Godzilla of the gridiron, casually crushing an entire NFL secondary or a small Japanese fishing village beneath
hia feet.
He's merely shaping up as the best young tight end of the last 50 years, one carved in the physical and statistical image of Hall of Famer Iron Mike Ditka himself.
