FOXBORO — As Devin McCourty wrapped up his press conference yesterday at the Gillette Stadium podium, he was asked how tough of a matchup Rob Gronkowski is in practice.
The reporter began his question with a statement: “Gronk has been able to do anything he wants against safeties and corners.”
But before he could finish, McCourty had to make a quick correction.
“Remember, I told you, he doesn’t do that against us,” McCourty said of Gronkowski.
The Patriots safety clarified that it’s no easy task to defend the star tight end, something the Jaguars are quickly learning ahead of Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
