How do we defend gronk?

[RolandDeschain]

Gronk is irrefutably better than I'm Jimmy® and won't get intimidated or develop gator arms no matter how hard Kam hits him.

That doesn't mean Kam won't make his day horrible, though; it just means Gronk will keep coming back like this:

Is the Gronk effect anything like the I'm jimmy (graham) effect or the Vernon Davis effect? We'll do fine. This isn't the tom Brady of old, it's an old tom Brady. He doesn’t have the tools to compete against this defense. This is a defense that just held Aaron Rodgers to 178 and two pics. .

Those are both soft finesse type TE's, Gronk is bigger, stronger and tougher.

If Kam can solo tackle a running Mike Tolbert and stop him dead in his tracks, I think he can slow down Gronk.
