I wonder if Bedard wants to revisit his Gronk take from back in the day.

I wanted Texas DE Sergio Kindle badly. I remember a lot of mocks had him going to us or Baltimore. So when the Pats moved in front of the Ravens, I was convinced we were about to pick him. So I was pretty dejected when I heard the name called, even if I thought it was probably a good move.

Then shortly after, I saw him put the helmet on and go full Gronk with his brothers. I was all in at that point.

Gotta give this guy credit as the smartest "dumb" guy ever. As much as I think he deserves a lot more respect, he's certainly played the loveable goofball personae pretty well.

Greatest TE in NFL history. At the end of the day, Gronk blocked like an OT, and was so dominant as a pass catcher. Everyone is compared to Gronk, but nobody ever did it better.

Seriously, who among us hasn't pictured Bill in a mariachi band?

Russ was a favorite of mine back in the day. We’ve hit the jackpot 3 times. Francis, Coates & Gronk, 3 elite TEs.

congrats Gronk
extremely deserving
but I also wish to offer shout outs to Mankins and Welker, who I feel strongly deserve both red jackets and gold jackets

Gronk was clearly elite
I would say Coates was as well
Russ was not elite imo, but very good.

agree or not, who do you have as #4 for the all time TE's for the Pats?
