Gronkowski’s Displeasure with Quarterbacks
Former tight end Rob Gronkowski has voiced his frustration with quarterbacks dominating the race for the NFL MVP award. While acknowledging the importance of the position, Gronkowski believes that there is no standout quarterback this season deserving of the accolade. He argues for a skill player to receive the honor for a change.
McCaffrey’s Strong Case
Gronkowski specifically mentions Christian McCaffrey of the San Francisco 49ers as a deserving candidate. McCaffrey has been a consistent force for his team, scoring touchdowns in every game except one last season. He leads the league in rushing yards with 1,117 and has contributed 12 touchdowns to his credit.
The Record-Breaking Potential of Tyreek Hill
While McCaffrey presents a strong case, wide receiver Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins is on track to break an NFL record. Hill currently leads the league in receiving yards with 1,481, and with his exceptional speed, he has a chance to surpass Calvin Johnson’s single-season record of 1,964 yards. If Hill continues his impressive performance, he could become the first receiver in NFL history to reach 2,000 yards in a season.
Gronkowski’s Desire for Change
Gronkowski, tired of quarterbacks consistently winning the MVP award, hopes to see a skill player like McCaffrey or Hill earn the honor this year. He believes that the quarterbacks’ popularity often overshadows the contributions of other players on the field. Gronkowski joins the call to recognize the exceptional performances of skill players and break the quarterback MVP streak that has persisted since 2012.
