‘Still Waiting For That Change For The Ride’: Rob Gronkowski Recalls 2011 Play Against Troy Polamalu

During his time in the NFL, former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end and future Hall of Famer Rob Gronkowski had a great deal of success against the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially in Pittsburgh.

As a rookie in 2010, Gronkowski had three touchdowns against the Steelers at then-Heinz Field, putting himself on the map in a major way with quarterback Tom Brady.

In seven career games against the Steelers, Gronkowski’s teams went 5-2, and he had a big hand in that, hauling in 41 receptions for 685 yards and eight touchdowns. Those are eye-popping numbers.
