5. Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski has looked like a shell of himself this season. He is struggling to get into the end season and isn’t making a lot of great plays. Now Gronkowski will need to be a beast once again.

Gronkowski only has 3 touchdowns this season. Overall this year has been a big disappointment for the tight end.

The only thing Gronkowski has been good for is drawing a double team. This takes some pressure away from other guys, but he needs to make some plays.

Now Gronkowski will need to return to being an amazing pass catcher. Tom Brady will be looking for Gronk a lot for the rest of the season.

The New England Patriots are in a tough spot. They need to build momentum heading into the playoffs.

dark. Next. More James White, more offensive production

It is going to be a difficult road to the Super Bowl, but if I know the New England Patriots, the will somehow find a way into the big game.
