‘Blocking tight end’ is only one way to describe Rob Gronkowski with the Buccaneers.

Rob Gronkowski will go down in history as the best complete tight end ever. His greatest strength has been his ability to catch passes and block at the highest level in the league, not one over the other.

Even after coming off of retirement and some time away from the game, the belief that Gronk would be a blocking tight end in the Buccaneer offense was laughable from the start.
