Ideal yin with Rob Gronkowski’s yang

FOXBORO — After working as a solo act for the better part of the past two seasons, it’s looking more and more like Rob Gronkowski has a new smash brother in the tight end room.

Scott Chandler has been dynamite through three training camp practices, and that’s a continuation from his impressive four-week run during organized team activities and minicamp. The free agent acquisition has caught 12 passes from quarterback Tom Brady through three practices, which is tied with wide receiver Danny Amendola for the second most on the team (wide receiver Julian Edelman has 15), as he has been a tough matchup for the myriad of safeties and linebackers who have been tasked in coverage.
