Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is on the verge of setting franchise records, or climbing towards the top of the list. Here's where he stands:
Receptions: 308; Rank: 9th
While Gronkowski still has a couple more years before he sets the franchise record (Wes Welker, 672 receptions), he's likely to climb pass Deion Branch (328), Terry Glenn (329), and Irving Fryar (363) to get into 6th place. Kevin Faulk is in 5th, with 431 receptions. While 123 receptions is certainly not impossible, it's definitely not likely. Ben Coates is the #1 tight end with 490 receptions.
