49ers 'have best team on paper' but need to step up when it counts, NFL great Rob Gronkowski says

Rob Gronkowski calls the San Francisco 49ers the 'best team on paper' in the NFL in an interview with Fox News Digital.

The San Francisco 49ers had one of the more intriguing offseasons in the NFL.

The team re-signed running back Christian McCaffrey to an extremely lucrative contract and got deals done with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and offensive lineman Trent Williams in the 11th hour to avoid any turmoil going into the regular season.

Rob Gronkowski told Fox News Digital there’s only one question the 49ers have left to answer this season.

"I believe the San Francisco 49errs now have the best team on paper in the NFL," Gronkowski said. "But, can they get the job done in crunch time when it really matters? Over the last two years, they haven’t been able to. They got everyone signed. Everyone’s happy on their team. There’s no more excuses. Can they finally get the job done? We will see."

Brock Purdy will lead the charge again. Gronkowski said his succuss while making what he described as "minimum wage" has been key for the 49ers as well.

Purdy had 4,280 passing yards and 31 touchdown passes in 2023 and led the 49ers to an appearance in Super Bowl
