The party animal himself Rob Grokowski can officially call himself the NFL king of New York. There are very few tight ends out there can single-handedly be an instant game changer for their team, but time-and-time again Gronk has proven why he will be a future Hall of Famer. The 6'6 tight end played collegiate football for the University of Arizona before being picked 42nd overall in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots.
In just nine seasons with the Patriots, he's racked up a total of 79 touchdowns, four Pro Bowl selections, four All-Pro First Team roster spots, and three Super Bowl rings (Super Bowl XLIX,LI, LIII). Gronk is the first and only tight end to ever lead the league in touchdowns with 17 in 2011 and the most postseason touchdowns by a tight end with a total of 12 touchdowns. Unfortunately, Rob Gronkowski's career has been riddled with arm and shoulder injuries that forced him to retire. Who knows, though? We might get to experience the return of Gronk sooner rather than later.
