Rob Gronkowski, tight end, New England Patriots
If there ever was a tight end who could earn Offensive Player of the Year, it is of course Gronk. Let’s assume that Gronkowski stays healthy all year round. If this is the case, the dude is a complete animal on offense. We already have him penned in as a top 10 Comeback Player of the Year candidate for 2017.
Plus, quarterback Tom Brady is playing out of his mind these days. But let’s get back to Gronk. Prior to last year’s injury season, Gronkowski racked up a total of 154 catches for 2,300 yards and 23 touchdowns between 2014-15.
The Patriots are playing stronger than ever these days. Another Super Bowl is easily within reach. If Gronkowski rebounds to his high level of play, he could surprise and be crowned the league’s best offensive player this upcoming season.
