Rob Gronkowski issues warning to Patriots fans amid Drake Maye calls

The New England Patriots fell to 1-3 in the 2024 NFL season after a 30-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett ultimately finished 19-of-32 passing for 168 yards with a touchdown and interception in the losing effort.

But there were scores of frustrated Patriots fans on social media calling for him to be replaced by backup Drake Maye, the organization's third overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft.

However, Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski, who spent nine years in New England and won three Super Bowls, cautioned against overreacting during the Fox halftime show.
