Who doesn’t love former Wildcat Rob Gronkowski? The fun-loving, goofy, high energy tight end that once dazzled fans in Tucson, has since become a prominent face in football over the years.
Originally a big, stocky kid from New York, the ‘Gronk’ as he’s been aptly known, was a superstar in the making the minute he stepped foot on campus here.
Despite playing in just 22 games, he would amass 1,197 yards on 75 receptions with 16 touchdowns. Simply put, the guy was dominant!
Well, following a stellar, but brief collegiate career, Rob would eventually take his talents to the NFL, where he would be drafted 42nd overall by the New England Patriots.
