Rob Gronkowski Won't Let Rare Patriots Touchdown Be Forgotten

Rob Gronkowski set records across the board during a dominant sophomore campaign with the New England Patriots in 2011.

Gronkowski posted 17 touchdowns while hauling in 90 passes for 1,324 yards as Tom Brady and the Patriots soared as an offense. One of those touchdowns stood out on the utmost abnormal stat line for a tight end.

Gronkowski, while joining longtime teammate Julian Edelman on the “Games With Names” podcast, recalled that he does officially have a rushing touchdown on his stat line. That came on a pass he caught behind the line of scrimmage for a two-yard score against the Indianapolis Colts that season.
