Former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski has high praise for the San Francisco 49ers, calling them the "best team on paper" in the league.
Rob Gronkowski, the former NFL tight end who helped lead the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers to Super Bowl victories, has high praise for the San Francisco 49ers. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Gronkowski called the 49ers the "best team on paper" in the NFL, but questioned whether they could "get the job done in crunch time when it really matters."
Gronkowski's assessment of the 49ers is based on their impressive roster, which includes a talented offense led by quarterback Brock Purdy, running back Christian McCaffrey, and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Defensively, the 49ers boast a star-studded lineup that includes defensive end Nick Bosa, linebacker Fred Warner, and cornerback Charvarius Ward.

Gronkowski believes that the 49ers have addressed their weaknesses from the previous season, including securing long-term deals with McCaffrey, Aiyuk, and offensive lineman Trent Williams. With these key players locked in, Gronkowski sees no more excuses for the 49ers to underperform in critical moments.
However, Gronkowski also acknowledges the 49ers' recent struggles in crunch time. In the past two seasons, the 49ers have lost in the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl. Gronkowski believes that the team's ability to execute in high-pressure situations will ultimately determine their success in 2024.

Gronkowski is particularly impressed with Purdy, who emerged as a capable starting quarterback after taking over for the injured Trey Lance in 2023. Gronkowski credits Purdy's success to the team's system and the talented players around him. He believes that Purdy has exceeded expectations and has earned the respect of his teammates and coaches.
The 49ers will kick off their 2024 season on Monday night against the New York Jets. Gronkowski will undoubtedly be watching closely to see if the 49ers can live up to his high expectations and finally "get the job done" when it matters most.
