J.J. Watt is crowned the Face of the NFL
By SB Nation NFL News on Apr 5, 2016

Our Face of the NFL tournament featured several close contests, but the championship round wasn't one of them. With 14,465 fan votes cast, J.J. Watt crushed Rob Gronkowski with a whopping 93.6 percent of the vote. Though the NFL is now largely an offensive game, Watt's dominant showing indicates that the people still love a beast who can get after the passer.

As it turns out, both Watt and Gronkowski were underestimated forces heading into this tournament. Neither player was a No. 1 seed, as that honor went to four quarterbacks -- Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson. Given how quarterbacks are the focal point of the NFL, it seemed to be a safe bet that at least one of those four passers would advance to the championship round. But surprisingly, Watt and Gronkowski took down Newton and Brady in the Elite Eight.

The relatively early exits from Brady and Newton were surprising, but perhaps their polarizing reputations worked against them in this bracket. Watt and Gronkowski have a few detractors, but they're much more universally loved.

Gronk is a frat boy idiot. Watt is a dedicated freak of nature. The two don't even compare in my opinion.

I don't think Gronk was in a fraternity, but I do think he is a freak of nature also.

Gronk is on a pace to be the best TE in the history of this game. I don't think you are giving him the proper amount of respect due to his off the field persona.

You might want to re-think that. Gronk is on pace to break all tight end records in the history of the game. In fact, he is a game changer (keep in mind, I still can't stand him but it is what it is.)
