Bill Belichick: George Kittle is “as good as anybody” I’ve seen
Some would call Rob Gronkowski the greatest tight end in the history of the game. It’s hard to argue he’s not one of the best ever with his four All-Pro nods, three Super Bowl rings and a spot on the NFL’s 100th Anniversary All-Time Team.

Cam Newton: Time off showed, I have to be better

Bill Belichick: We need more time together
