Mr. Personality: Gronk added flair to Pats' robotic image

Jun. 22—Is Rob Gronkowski the greatest tight end of all-time?

In my humble opinion ... abso-bleepin-lutely.

He was a classic, two-way tight-end, which means he was a big-time blocker, even on elite defensive ends, and even bigger in terms of production in the passing game.

But the topic is debatable, probably for another day.

What isn't debatable was his influence on the New England Patriots, and really in Dynasty No. 2, from 2014 through 2018.

In a lot of ways he was right up there with his buddy, "Tommy" Brady.

And I'm not talking just about football, which included a record of 123-36 (.
