Man Gronk changed the game. Respectfully, there is no Kelce/Ertz/Graham/Olson types without Gronk… https://t.co/oeHUrvZ4Hf

For the past 9 years, after each week, one of the first guys reception targets I would go watch was @RobGronkowski. Some stuff I would steal, other stuff only he could do. Incredible career and enjoy what’s next. See you in canton
