After a week of attention on his troublesome ankle, New England Patriots wide receiver Rob Gronkowski was left with more pain from his team's 21-17 loss to the New York Giants than from his injury.
ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton recently provided his list of the top-10 tight ends heading into the 2012 season. To no surprise, the New England Patriots duo of Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez both made the cut. But the rankings were interesting: Gronkowski was No. 1 and Hernandez was No. 3.Gronkowski has catapulted to the top of the tight-end rankings after a record-setting season. I doubt many would argue that point. But is Hernandez, Gronkowski's backup, the third-best at his position?
John Clayton’s recent list of the NFL’s top 10 tight ends didn’t include anyone from the AFC South.If he does a similar list in a year, will that change?There are a lot of quality tight ends in the division, but they all carry questions. I don’t know if any can match the production of New England’s Rob Gronkowski or New Orleans’ Jimmy Graham, who are setting the standard for the new breed of players at the position.
