Are Brady and Gronk the Best Passing Duo in Recent Years?

With Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski reunited in Tampa, Neil Greenberg examines whether they’re the most productive passing duo in recent years, using TruMedia’s EPA model as a measuring stick:

From the time Gronkowski was selected in the second round of the 2010 draft to his temporary retirement after the 2018 season, no quarterback and tight end produced more excepted points added during the regular season than Brady and Gronkowski. Their production not only tops the QB-to-TE leader board, it is also 210 points more than the next-best duo of Rivers and Gates. For comparison, the difference between Brady-Gronkowski and Rivers-Gates is the same as between Rivers-Gates and the 29th-best duo on the list, Andy Dalton and Jermaine Gresham of the Cincinnati Bengals (44 expected points added).
