Gronk only played two seasons in college for 1197 yards (16.0 YPC) and 16 TDs
Gresham put up 1629 yards (14.4 YPC) and 26 TDs in 3 seasons, including a dominant 950 yards, 14 TDs his final season.
Both were about the same size, speed, and agility too.

Bengals made the right draft choice based on the information known on that draft day.
And Gresham was a good TE with the Bengals. The Bengals just chose to start phasing him out with Eifert, and he declined from that point.
And we know Gronk ended up getting that HOF career because he became such a featured option with the Patriots.

I was talking about why people are upset about it now with hindsight. You don't have to sell me on Gresham being a good TE with the Bengals. Lol... I have always thought he got unfairly hated on and was pretty good.

I think he'd be good regardless, but I agree that Gronk probably would be at quite the same level he was if he didn't play his career with the greatest QB of all time. He was smart to shut down that trade to the Lions in 2018 by threatening to retire. It got him two more SB rings with Brady.
