Bingo. That makes him even harder to defend properly. I can't imagine lining up to defend him knowing that he's able to either blow you up on a block to set up a screen pass or go out and catch a screen himself. Add in his explosion off the line, reach and ability to actually highpoint the ball and there's a reason we hear his name so much. Eifert is no slouch, and we should be elated that he's healthy and we're comparing the two. It's just that Gronk has that extra quality that makes him harder to defend.
