There were a ton of memorable scenes at Wednesday’s Super Bowl victory parade, with three participants emerging as the day’s stars: Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady’s son, five-year-old Benjamin.

All three put on great performances, but only one can be the Duck Boat King. We go to the tale of the tape to find out who.

First, Robert “Yo Soy Fiesta’’ Gronkowski.

Keeping up with the frat boy motif he’s cultivated since arriving in Boston, Gronk accepted not one, but two beers from the crowd, one of which he spiked after chugging.

A child at heart, Gronk wore a hat bearing the image of a Minion from the Despicable Me movie series — and danced while wearing it.

Edelman was an MVP candidate at the Super Bowl parade just as he was the game itself. Here he is dramatically ripping off his jacket and spiking it.

Benjamin Brady has been in the spotlight plenty in his short five-year life, but the parade marked his most extended stay – and he killed it. Here he is working the crowd.
