He is better than All World (what Howard Cosell used to call Francis), and will be better than Coates.
Has a team ever had two young stud TE's like the Patriots do now? Back in the day, the Pats had Coates and Marv Cook, but they don't compare to Gronk and Aaron Hernandez.
Steelers have Heath Miller, he was here long before Gronk, he's the best TE in the game, till the media started pumping Gronk.
Miller has been doing it for 7 years now.
