While Rob Gronkowski made things look easy at times on the football field during his legendary career with the New England Patriots, it wasn’t always like that.
Sometimes practices were a grind for Gronkowski, and that was because of a specific Patriots defender matched up on the hulking tight end.
Gronkowski and Patrick Chung went head-to-head plenty of times on the practice fields outside Gillette Stadium and Gronkowski credited his former Patriots teammate for helping shape the player he became.
“I wouldn’t have been the type of player I was without Patrick Chung,” Gronkowski said on the “Up & Adams” show on Wednesday.
