‘"Around the league a lot of tight ends are catching a lot of balls, a lot of touchdowns and everything," Gronkowski said. "I think the tight ends are a big position in the game. I mean, if it’s a check-down the QB can go right to the tight end or something. If the tight end is bigger than the linebackers, bigger than safeties and stuff, [there’s an] advantage there, using your own body size to get open and everything. If you have a tight end it’s definitely, I think, a big [advantage] to the game, to the offense and everything."’
