The Golden State Warriors have the Splash Brothers, but the New England Patriots have … Ken and Ryu?

Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett should make for a fearsome tight end pairing come September, and every dynamic duo deserves a cool nickname.

The Patriots tight ends might need to come up with a few more ideas before one sticks. Han Solo and Chewbacca, maybe? Gronkett? Benkowski?
