Recently-retired tight end Rob Gronkowski had secured his legacy as one of the greatest players at his position after leaving the game after the New England Patriots won Super Bowl LIII over the Los Angeles Rams. Now, he’ll be the New Orleans Saints’ rival.
Gronkowski called it quits after a nine-year career in New England, notably declining as the 2018 season wore on.
In 2019, even a broken-down Gronkowski would have helped the Patriots, who struggled immensely on offense despite going 12-4 and winning the AFC East.
Quarterback Tom Brady wanted out of the organization and set his sights in free agency, and he sailed for the Gulf of Mexico and landed in Tampa Bay.
