A note to NFL defenders trying to cover Rob Gronkowski: You are not worthy.

The New England Patriots tight end looked downright superhuman in his team's season opener Thursday night, racking up 94 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a 28-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

So what's the next logical step after such a dominant performance? Creating a YouTube video featuring Gronk as the superhero Thor, of course. The folks at SportsManias did just that, and the results are awesome.

This actually might have been Gronk/Thor's easiest touchdown of the night, as the Steelers somehow neglected to cover the Patriots' top offensive weapon.

The beastly tight end took it from there, bowling over mere mortals Robert Golden and Antwon Blake on his way to the end zone before winding up for a massive spike of his mighty hammer/football.

Well done, Internet.
