‘I’d never seen you with such pure joy on the field’: Rob Gronkowski made Bill Belichick his own ‘smile’ emoji

Rob Gronkowski has a gift for Bill Belichick: his own emoji.

In a video posted on Twitter to @uninterrupted, the retired tight end read a letter he wrote to the Patriots head coach in which he said he was dedicating a “smile” emoji to him after the “rare moment” he had during the team’s 33-0 win against the Jets on Monday night. Belichick, who decided to use a “loophole” during the fourth quarter, smiled afterwards – a moment that went viral on social media.
