Super Bowl LII will feature two of the league's best tight ends, and it seems that game recognize game.
Zach Ertz of the Philadelphia Eagles raved about New England Patriots All-Pro Rob Gronkowski on Wednesday, noting that he'd be a star even if he didn't play for the defending champions.
"The guy is a physical specimen. He's a freak. ... He'd still be producing those numbers with or without Tom Brady. He uses his body whenever he wants to get open," Ertz said, according to Tyler Dunne of Bleacher Report.
Ertz was no slouch himself this season, recording 74 receptions for 824 yards and eight touchdowns and earning the first Pro Bowl selection of his career. In most games, he'd be one of the premier offensive weapons on the field.
Gronkowski, however, exists in a class of his own. The Patriots standout caught 69 passes for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games.
The Patriots are looking to win their third Super Bowl in four years with Gronkowski serving as a central component of their potential dynasty, while Ertz and the Eagles seek the first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
