Rob Gronkowski praises former Ohio State QB Justin Fields: 'He's like a gazelle out there'

Rob Gronkowski gave former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields the seal of approval Tuesday when talking to NBC Sports Chicago’s Josh Schrock.

The 4-time Super Bowl winning tight end with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers was high on Fields, saying his athleticism paired with the right system could make him a true franchise quarterback in the NFL.

He even compared Fields to a gazelle.

Asked Rob Gronkowski about Justin Fields and his ability to be a franchise quarterback: “Man, that dude is a beast. When he runs, he’s like a gazelle out there. It’s unreal. … it’s about putting the right system and weapons around him but he’s definitely a franchise QB.”

Fields broke numerous records this season for the Chicago Bears, including the single-season Bears record for most rushing yards by a quarterback. He also broke the single-game NFL rushing record for a quarterback and would have broken Lamar Jackson’s single-season rushing record had he not been held out of the final game with an injury.

The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft and could find some weapons for the soon-to-be 3rd-year QB. Several players in the league have spoken similarly to Gronkowski.

Get Fields some help and the league may be in trouble.
