No idea. Maybe one? Two at the most, and no one is able to do it for a whole game.
Thing is, Gronk is kind of an outlier; you're not supposed to be able to run as fast as he did in his prime at that size, and then have both the athleticism and the hands to catch some of the passes he did. And then he was the best blocking TE the league has ever seen.
Kelce is a different kind of TE. He's actually a WR in a TE's body. He's more athletic and probably has better route-running skills and hands than Gronk, but he's not as physical (but no one can be), and certainly not the blocker that Gronk was.
Point being, Gronk as the whole package was just unstoppable. In his prime, when he was healthy.
