- New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has been the league’s highest-graded at the position for each of the last four seasons, is at the top of the list again through five weeks of 2017.
- Gronkowski currently has a overall grade of 88.0, slightly ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, who is second with a grade of 87.9.
- A key attribute of Gronkowski’s success has been his performance in the slot, where he has 199 receiving yards, the most in the league among tight ends, and has averaged 2.46 yards per route run, which ranks second.
Gronkowski remains atop the NFL TE grades through 5 weeks
