Rob Gronkowski responds to Jalen Ramsey’s recent trash talk

Ahead of their AFC Championship rematch, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski says he and Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey haven’t been in touch.

“I don’t have his number,” Gronkowski told reporters at Gillette Stadium Wednesday. “And he doesn’t have mine.”

But Gronkowski doesn’t have to hear from Ramsey directly to know the 23-year-old has been talking about him behind his back. Ramsey, who the Jaguars drafted 5th overall in 2016, has been unabashedly` vocal about his criticisms of Gronkowski’s game, most recently telling ESPN’s Mina Kimes he doesn’t think “Gronk’s good.”

“I don’t think Gronk is as great as people think he is,” Ramsey told Kimes.
