ATLANTA -- Rob Gronkowski has totaled 596 receptions in his career, which covers the regular season and playoffs, so which one is his favorite?
The New England Patriots tight end paused for a moment to give it some consideration.
“I like the one-handers. I remember all the one-handers -- those are always memorable,” he said, noting a Week 16 touchdown grab against the Buffalo Bills in the 2017 season and a 10-yard score against the Denver Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs following the 2011 season.
