These Rob Gronkowski quotes about 2017 season with Patriots are telling

When was football no longer fun for Rob Gronkowski in New England? When not playing became more fun.

Gronkowski was an interview subject on the latest episode of Tom Brady's ESPN+ documentary series, "Man in the Arena," which aired Tuesday night and focused on the Patriots' 2017 season.

The former Patriots tight end spoke candidly in the episode about how that 2017 campaign wasn't all that enjoyable for him, even as he caught 69 passes for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns to help lead New England back to the Super Bowl.
