The Game That Got Rob Gronkowski Drafted (College Edition)

[@jefft5824]

Gronk is basically a real life version of a character from Blue Mountain State who actually makes it to the NFL (big props to the announcer for spotting his talent ATM too)

[@justinporter9743]

Lol Thad but TE

[@chadkinsler9865]

Rob is simply a beast! The injuries caught up to him but he was still the best Te in the league

young gronk run fast. gronk catch ball. gronk lay awake at night and think of how rich he will be.

[@jakewilson910]

Rob Gronkowski was amazing at Arizona before he got drafted in the NFL!!! Let's go Wildcats!!! That Touchdown he scored was unbelievable!!!

[@drampabay1476]

I remember as a pats fan I was pissed the pats took a tight end in the second round. I had no idea the phenomenon coming our way

[@JOEYNOSEBEATS]

Same here. However, I wasn't upset about gronk. I was more upset at the Hernandez pick. I remember sitting there on my bed and actually said aloud, "What is Belichick doing?" Long pause.... Shows how much I know...

[@drampabay1476]

I just don’t pay attention to the draft anymore. Cody strange? Sure.. whatever bill lol

[@andreearl3258]

@@JOEYNOSEBEATS if Hernandez could've had his head right, that tandem was set to be one of the best ever. Still haven't seen a 2 tight end offense like that. Game changers

[@chonzen1764]

What you are not seeing here is him straight up mercing defensive linemen as a run blocker. Arguably the best run blocking TE in the history of football. Without question the most balanced between receiving/blocking and #2 isn't close.

[@ronpuchalski6388]

Preach! FACT!

[@chosenwon5618]

It’s amazing he went as far down the draft as he did! I loved watching him, Edelman and Brady for so many great years in New England! I met him a couple times and he is just as cool as you would think he would be!! Gronk best TE to ever play the game!!!

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

Mike Thomas had a decent 4 year NFL career with the Jaguars. 1700+ yards, 7 TDs as a WR

[@davidhooper259]

His season with Nick Foles really showcased his talent. This was fun but it had a bunch of low risk waggles and hitches. With Foles he was used like a slot receiver with long skinny posts. Safeties never had a chance. Since day one he was a man among boys.

[@justanotherguywithoutamust9149]

Bro what are you talking about he got way less touches with him

[@davidhooper259]

@@justanotherguywithoutamust9149 I’m assuming you went to UA or watched the games. Gronk was HUGE in size even in comparison to DEs and LBs. even as a down TE running a skinny post for 10 yards Safeties tried to undercut him or LB tried to climb up and drag him down…no chance. It was like a 150 rated Madden player.

[@justanotherguywithoutamust9149]

@@davidhooper259 naw bra I went to Arizona... gronk is massive that's not what's being talked about. His sophomore year was better for him it displayed his blocking more and he was the no 1 target in the end zone .

[@andrewrollinson7739]

Catches the TD, lines up to block on the extra point.

[@brianr3720]

LOL. Just another day at the office.💪

[@bruhmcchaddeus413]

He always was blocker first, people forget that. He was blocker first tight end WITH 5 10+ td seasons so elite receiver too, Best

[@adamelam6385]

When the guy was healthy no other TE compares.

[@bruhmcchaddeus413]

No other te compares to his career stats overall anyway, 5 10+ td seasons, elite blocking and elite yards average

This game didn’t get Gronk drafted, he had already done he work, this game just capped it off.

[@TheMurph20]

[@geraldrice8137]

I was thinkin the same..but Buffalo looks great this year..im a cowboys fan rooting for the Bucs..But would love The Bills to win it all

[@mandospence]

I think he was only a sophomore this year. He missed his junior year with an injury and entered the draft instead of playing college as a senior.
