Whenever a team employs two tight ends who are dangerous receivers, comparisons are made to the Patriots when Bill Belichick deployed two tight-end sets with playmakers Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

Gronkowski was and is a reliable blocker, unlike Gates and Green, and Hernandez had rare versatility that extended even to success at running back.
