“Stopping Gronkowski” seems like an oxymoron in and of itself. Many teams have tried, few have been successful in stopping the freak that is New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski . Gronkowski heads into Saturday night as the Patriots’ leader in touchdown receptions.
After missing the postseason last year, Gronkowski plans on making waves. Last year in the playoffs, teammate WR Julian Edelman had to make up for the absence of Gronkowski by emerging as QB Tom Brady’s most reliable pair of hands. This season, Gronkowski will have to do the same in order to help secure the Patriots another crack at a Super Bowl title.
