The New England Patriots are finally starting to make adjustments in the post-Gronk world they now find themselves inhabiting.
On Wednesday, they agreed to a one-year deal with veteran free agent tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. The news was first reported by Seferian-Jenkins himself on his social media accounts.
While astute followers of the NFL will no doubt observe that Austin Seferian-Jenkins is a far cry from Rob Gronkowski in terms of overall ability as well as body of work over their respective professional football careers, there are at least a few encouraging parallels between the two players.
