As great as he was, imagine if he hadn't been injured virtually every season. It will be interesting to see the Patriots without him fulltime. I also wonder if he will make a surprise unretirement about 1/2 way through the season
It's next season and I'm hopeful

I saw on Twitter people asking if he was the GOAT TE, to me personally it's still Tony G, then Gates and Witten. But Gronk is definitely up there. 5X Pro-Bowler, 4X All-Pro, 3X Super-Bowl Champ. I'd say he's a lock for the Hall. 1st Ballot?

The already slim pickings just got slimmer for the TE position in fantasy football...
When he was on, he was damn near unstoppable... Entertaining as hell too with his dumb ass...

This is one of those moments where you hate to lose someone you love to hate. Great player.

Likely to be followed by the who might have been great Tyler Eifert.. I've always wondered how worth it is to sacrifice your body for a lifetime of pain just for fame and fortune.. I'm not sure I'd want to make such a sacrifice. These are still young men, but by the time they're my age...jeeeez..a million bottles of pain killers later? I wouldn't do it intentionally .
