Travis Kelce may possess the size, skill, and party-guy nature of fellow tight end Rob Gronkowski, but call him "Baby Gronk" at your own peril.

Kelce spent 2016 raising his profile - in both positive and negative manners - so he'd like to end the comparisons with the New England Patriots tight end.

"I do hate the 'Baby Gronk,'" the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said Friday on NFL Network, according to Jeremy Bergman of NFL.com.

"So all the Patriots fans, I kind of just gave you fuel to call me that again. But don't call me that ever again."

Kelce starred in his own dating reality show in the offseason, and, on the field, clashed with officials while putting together a Pro Bowl season.
