2. Rob Gronkowski

This has been a rough season for Rob Gronkowski to say the least. This year has been so rough I would be surprised to see Gronk return to the New England Patriots next season.

We have watched a shooting star here in New England. When Gronkowski was on top of his game no one could stop him. He established himself as the best tight end in the NFL.

Sadly Gronk has quickly fizzled out. The wear and tear of NFL life has completely changed Gronk’s game and it hasn’t been pretty to watch.

Gronkowski has been a shell of himself this season only scoring 3 touchdowns.

New England is going to need Gronk to figure things out and be a major part of their offense. If not the Patriots may be headed home sooner than Patriots fans expect.

Rest is the most beneficial thing for Gronkowski at this point in his NFL career.
