It’s been a rough season for New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. He’s played in just seven games and missed three of the past four with injuries. Furthermore, Gronk hasn’t caught a touchdown since Week 1.
Until now.
Gronkowski hauled in a gorgeous 34-yard strike in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, tying it up at 7-7.

What’s dumber? People saying Gronk is done or the Jets giving the best Qb of all time another shot on 3rd down? My god that was stupid

Gronk comebacks and scores right away. Mannnn when he’s healthy he’s the best TE ever.

That moment you realize you forgot to put Gronk back in your starting lineup on fantasy and he already has 10 points in the 1st quarter 🤦♂️

Gronk is like the NFL version of the McRibb. He's only available for limited times each year. But when he's here, he's special.
