Coach Gruden’s Official Top 5 (Barstool Edition)

Rob Gronkowski: The undisputed #1. "He might be number one because he could block." Gruden views Gronk as the ultimate dual-threat weapon. 🔨

Mike Ditka: Gruden went back to the archives for this one. "The tight end lines up tight on the end of the line... he's got to be a point of attack blocker."

Jason Witten: Pure consistency and toughness. Gruden called him a "definitely top five" lock for his ability to do everything the position requires. 🎯

Tony Gonzalez: Even though Gruden leans toward blockers, he couldn't deny the "GOAT" of receiving production. "Tony Gonzalez is a guy that I like." 📈

Ozzie Newsome: The "Wizard of Oz" rounds out the list. Gruden respects the pioneers who were elite blockers and smooth pass catchers long before the modern era.

Honorable Mention: Shannon Sharpe (who he loves, but "not that high").

Who is the most "Gruden" Tight End in the NFL today: George Kittle or Sam LaPorta? 👇
