Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski talks about what makes QB Jimmy Garoppolo “special”

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is going to put the offense on his back during the first four weeks of the season. Star quarterback Tom Brady will be suspended, while wide receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, and running backs Dion Lewis and LeGarrette Blount are returning from injuries. Gronk is going to have to carry back-up quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo over the finish line.

Gronkowski spoke to the media about his budding relationship with Garoppolo and how the two have worked on improving their connection on the field.

“It definitely started two years ago,” Gronkowski said.
