Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had some fun with the fact that he has been targeted only four times through his first two games with the team.
While addressing the media Friday, Gronk called himself a "blocking tight end" when asked about the lack of action he has seen in the passing game:

The 31-year-old retired after the 2018 season, and at the time, he was one of the most prolific pass-catching tight ends of all time with 521 receptions for 7,861 yards and 79 touchdowns in nine seasons with the New England Patriots.
