When the Bears drafted Adam Shaheen in 2017, some labeled the 6-foot-7 athletic freak “Baby Gronk” — as in, a young version of future First-Ballot Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski. Five years and two teams later, Shaheen has amassed a whopping total of 50 receptions for 509 yards and seven touchdowns — which isn’t even close to the worst season of actual Gronk’s career.
In a way, I guess Shaheen is “Baby Gronk” in that his production pales entirely compared to a long-time superstar tight end.
