I love playing for him. I love the energy that he brings to the table,\u201d Gronkowski told Adams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe has that niche to get you to go out and play your best football, to get you fired up, to get you to want to go out on the field and get better every single day and make big plays,\u201d Gronkowski continued. \u201cIt was just a great time when he was here for the two seasons. He was here my rookie year and my second year, and he was just an awesome football coach on the field and off the field as well. His football knowledge is through the roof and I believe he\u2019s definitely going to restore the Patriot Faithful on the offensive side of the ball.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gronkowski had a career year when O&#8217;Brien was the Patriots offensive coordinator in 2011. That season Gronkowski recorded a career-best 90 receptions 1,327 receiving yards, and 17 receiving touchdowns, an NFL record for a tight end in a single season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe\u2019s going to put his players in the best position to make plays,\u201d Gronkowski continued. \u201cAnd he\u2019s going to come up with some creative ideas and I think they\u2019re going to definitely improve as an offense, tremendously, under coach Bill O\u2019Brien.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Patriots still have work to do to round out the complete coaching staff, but at least to Gronk, there is a lot to be optimistic about with the offense in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/UpAndAdamsShow\/status\/1618306017938509825?s=20&#038;t=WTUfz5-Df5wGGNdFCGqgqA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rob Gronkowski shares his
