During a promotional appearance for Autograph NFTs on Tuesday, Gronkowski was asked who he would want as his quarterback if not Brady.

“I kinda like this young buck quarterback. He’s in the Super Bowl now: It’s Joe Burrow, man,” Gronkowski said, via Chris Mason of masslive.com. “I watched him in college. I just love the way he presents himself out on the football field. In the pocket, he’s just so calm, and he just slings it out on the field.

“I just love his swag, too. If I had to pick a quarterback it’d be the young buck Joe Burrow. He’s killing it right now in the game.”

Gronkowski, 32, caught 55 passes for 802 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games this season.

Gronkowski, who is a free agent, is likely done in Tampa after Tom Brady retired last week. Current Bengals tight end C. J. Uzomah is coming off one of his best seasons and will also be a free agent after the season.
