GRONK is by far my favourite sportsman

[English Patriot]

And from someone who loves and follows a wide range of sports that's saying something. Don't get me wrong i love Brady but in terms of what brings out the fan in me it has to be Gronk. He is everything that a young player should be, someone who works hard at his craft to be the best but REMEMBERS that he's young and enjoys his life and loves his family.

Hope he never changes and he just as much as Edelman deserved a SB ring last night.

If I thought it through, I'd probably put him behind some young Olympic athletes who compete just as hard and just as youthfully with little hope of getting as rich -- e.g. swimmer Missy Franklin, who postponed going pro so she could be on a college team. (Actually, as an amateur still in high school/college, she probably didn't devote QUITE as much to the game as Gronk, but you've got to give her full credit on the youthful enthusiasm measure.)

For guys top-of-mind, I might put Edelman higher, because his sense of fun is somewhat smarter and funnier than Gronk's.
