From the article

A true tight end, Gronkowski was a dual-impact player both due to his immense receiving prowess and his abilities as a blocker. His contributions in the second area oftentimes go undervalued, but they also define who he was as a player: a powerful and physical presence at the point of attack.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Gronkowski's blocking ability defined his dual-impact role; elite 1-on-1 edge defender.

Gronkowski was a dual-impact tight end whose value extended beyond receiving production to elite blocking ability. His blocking prowess was demonstrated in the 2011 AFC Championship Game when he went 1-on-1 against standout edge rusher Terrell Suggs, and again in 2014 when he threw Colts safety Sergio Brown 'out of the club,' establishing him as a powerful and physical presence at the point of attack whose contributions in the second area often go undervalued.
