The Summer of Gronk II began earlier than most expected, as the New England Patriots packed up for the offseason following a 20-18 loss to Denver in the AFC championship game.
For Gronk, the offseason began not with a trip to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl, but with a trip to Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl. He and the rest of the Gronkowski family were on hand to support Glenn Gronkowski, the former Kansas State fullback looking to crack the NFL. Not quite as big as his older brother, the 6-foot-3 Glenn Gronkowski -- who goes by the nickname "Goose" -- had three catches for 37 yards in the Senior Bowl, including one that went for 34 yards.
