WATCH: Scott Chandler makes Gronk-like catch over Eagles defender
Tom Brady and the New England Patriots will be without Rob Gronkowski for the foreseeable future, but they have a fairly capable backup in Scott Chandler.
Chandler brings similar size to the Patriots offense, standing one inch taller than Gronkowski and just five pounds lighter. He may not have the athletic ability of Gronk -- few people in the world do -- but he can high-point the ball like Gronkowski does on many of Brady's throws.
In Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Chandler showed off his leaping ability and did his best Gronk impression at the end of the first quarter. Chandler rose up and made this great grab over a defender for 30-yards and a first down.
