Rob Gronkowski has always been in the spotlight for his statements. The NFL great was a star player in his era and now works as an analyst. People have always considered his opinions about a player, team, or situation to be contentious. This is one of the reasons why the TE is always in the headlines. A similar incident occurred recently in an interview where Gronkowski passed some brutal comments about the 49ers.

In a recent Up and Adams Show interview, the former tight end discussed current 49ers players and revealed how he thinks the team does not have a major player. Rob Gronkowski claimed, “I feel they got a lot of weapons but they just don’t have like an ‘IT’ guy.” This was a big statement too, after the team just won their last game against the Saints.

Prior to the statement, the former tight end addressed the game and suggested that the 49ers might have the potential to perform even better. The TE’s point was that the team has all the good players; they only need one big star to change the game for them. With the huge star, the team may adopt a new attitude and even become what they are renowned for.

The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most successful teams in NFL history. Despite the fact that the team has not accomplished much in recent years, it is still regarded as a major danger in the game. No one takes them lightly, but Rob Gronkowski may have seen them a bit differently.

Gronkowski also appeared on the NFL Week 2 Fox broadcast, where he was awarded a new nickname with his former teammate Julian Edelman.

Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman: ‘The Fox bros’

Gronk recently returned to the NFL on Fox after missing Week 1. He shared the stage with his former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman, and both of them had a fantastic time. They were both given a new moniker, ‘The Fox Bros,’ referring to the possibility that they will appear on the program for the remainder of the season.

Following this introduction, Edelman attempted to give Rob Gronkowski a high-five but was unable to grasp his hand. This was a funny occasion since both former athletes showed us how they had a close friendship with one another. Later, the duo did a maybe scripted part in which they finished each other’s words. This was a great and humorous event that fans enjoyed.

But moving on from the fun stuff, what are your opinions on the former NFL tight end’s remark regarding the San Francisco 49ers?
