Gronk: historically great yards per catch for his size

[RobertWeathers]

Gronk is now the standard.

That goes without saying.

It's amazing that his speed continues to catch corners and safeties by surprise. He does not look that fast on film at all, but then he's galloping past you and the only thing you can do is commit illegal contact or pass interference.

And not just speed, he has moves. The move he made on a smaller and supposedly quicker cornerback to get open at the snap on the 2 point conversion in Pittsburgh, was amazing.

Only comparable size/athletic delta vs his peers in my lifetime (42) is Shaq.
