I’m glad he retired a Patriot, it was an absolute privilege to watch him play over the years. One of the best tight ends to ever touch the field, a Patriot icon forever.

What a privilege it was to be alive and a fan back then. As it will continue to be forever
I always think of how long his career could’ve been if not for his injuries, so happy I got to see his super bowl runs, the goat
Almost downvoted cause you said “one of” instead of just “the” greatest TEs ever
Bro, he wasn’t one of the best. He was literally the best to ever play the position. Easily the highest peak ever.
So fun watching that monster truck people, catch bombs, spike balls and crack dumb jokes. He lightened the draconian patriots vibe while being damn near unstoppable on the field.
THE Best.
Best ever. Not close. Combination of receiving, blocking, toughness, size. He had it all.
For one game to win a Superbowl and you have to pick a tight end its Gronk 100%
He was unstoppable at his best and often when it mattered most. Absolute bulldozer of a blocker as well.
THE best tight end in the history of the league
The best*
Crazy that he’s the same age as Kelce.
The Shaq of the NFL – people could not stop him. My favorite Patriot player ever. There should be a statue of him throwing that dude out of the club…
I’m gonna throw you out of the club for for saying “one of…”
There will never be another Gronk
It’s indescribable how much fun it was to watch Gronk
Remember when he dragged a ravens defender as he was grabbing his pants to tackle him and mooned the world? Fucking hilarious
One of?
Only player i ever bought a jersey for. Even Brady didn’t resonate with me as much as Gronk
Brady said recently that Gronk would often go against Revis in practice
The absolute peak
I still proudly wear my Gronk jersey every Sunday 😤
Interesting that Gronk is a big enough star for channel 5 in Boston to interrupt the news to carry his press conference live for at least a half hour, which was when I shut it off. They don’t do that for just anyone.
I thought he finished his career in Tampa Bay as a Buccaneer. I’m trying to remember Mac Jones or Drake Maye ever throwing him a pass. I must of missed something.
Prime Gronk as an all around TE is by far the best TE of all time and I dont think it’s particularly close
the best tight end of his generation. only gonzalez comes close all around. the REAL 87. fuck kelce and his no blocking ass and shit pass ‘routes’. turned sergio brown into a murderer with his block on a sunday night in indy.
He was a fun player to watch, one of the all-time greats, and a perfect citizen. I can’t even think of any controversies. Probably when that picture surfaced with him and a porn star wearing a Gronk jersey. That’s it. Gronk was the best.
Offensive title.
Never forgot my reaction to the Pats drafting Gronk. THEY DRAFTED THIS GUY?! WOW BILL, THANKS ALOT! Then he played in the preseason and steamrolled the Rams defense that first game, yeah my mind changed quickly from a sarcastic Thanks Bill, to THANK YOU BILL FOR FINDING THIS BEAST! He was our #1 reciever/TE/blocking TE for almost a decade (three positions in 1 lol). A main reason why we even had a second dynasty run. Because even if you gameplan him, he would either A) just wreck the defense anyway, or B) open up everyone else on the offense because he was so damn scary.
Also Yo Soy Fiesta and got thrown out the club!
