NFL legend Rob Gronkowski doesn't want to hear your MVP opinion if it involves a quarterback this season.

"I don’t think there’s a deserving quarterback right now," Gronkowski told Fox News Digital. "There could be at the end of the year if someone picks up their play and is very, very consistent with it."

While Gronkowski has a point in thinking one or two quarterbacks are not standing out in the NFL MVP race this season, odds from various sportsbooks around the country have the likes of San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy, Dallas Cowboys' Dak Prescott, Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson and Philadelphia Eagles' Jalen Hurts as frontrunners for the award.

But as a former tight end who seems sick of the quarterback getting the award every year, he wants a skill player to get it this year. 

Who exactly? 

"What about Christian McCaffrey?" Gronkowski asked. "I mean, let’s give it to a skill player for once. These quarterbacks, they just hand it to them because they’re the most popular players out on the field at the most important position, that’s for sure. No doubt about that. But there’s no one that’s consistent enough this year that is well-deserved to get it.
