Seattle defensive back doesn't think very highly of Gronk


Unless you're living under a rock you know the only thing that anyone is talking about today is Deflategate. It sometimes makes you forget that there is a very important game coming up.

Luckily for us, Jeremy Lane as just said something so dumb that it even makes Deflategate look sane.

First off, you're probably wondering who Jeremy Lane is. Well he appears to be a Seattle Seahawks defensive back who posted an astounding 13 tackles this season.

Second, You're probably wondering what he said.

ESPN NFL

I actually don't think he's that good," Lane said. "He's OK. He does have a big body. But from what I've seen on tape, he doesn't like you putting your hands on him. So if we put our hands on him and shake him up a little bit, he won't catch that many balls.

Yup, you read that right. Jeremy Lane doesn't think Gronk is that good. Just happens to have a big body and knows how to use it is how you can break that quote down. Even better, Lane has somehow single handily figured out the way to stop Gronkowski. You simply put your hands on him and it takes him completely out of the game.

This is something I can't wait to see on Super Bowl Sunday. All 6 foot 190 pounds of Jeremy Lane stepping up and trying to put his hands on Gronk and see if he can throw him out of rhythm. The only thing that's going to happen in that scenario is Lane is going to get thrown out of the club.

But lets be honest, no one thought that it would take this long before Seattle's "Legion of Boom" said something stupid.
