Summary

Tight End Rank: #1   
Overall: #8

Gronkowski might have enjoyed the best season ever by a tight end last year. He set a record for touchdowns by a tight end, scoring 18 total touchdowns. He also had 90 receptions and topped 1,300 yards. His season was as good statistically as some of the best ever by a receiver. Gronkowksi had touchdowns in all but six games and topped 100 yards five times. He had at least four receptions in all but a game. He should continue to be a force in the Patriots pass-happy offense for years to come. Gronkowski has double-digit touchdowns in both of his first two seasons in the NFL. He might be the most complete tight end in the league rigbht now. Gronkowski isn't a flashy receiver, but has the speed to stretch the field and the strength to make the tough catches underneath. He has great hands. Gronkowski isn't a great blocker, but willing and usually does a good job.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Gronkowski should be one of the first two tight ends off the board come draft day. He is a touchdown machine in this offense. You can count on double-digit scores and another season of 1,000-plus yards. He is worth grabbing in the first three rounds come draft day. Having a tight end that performs as an elite fantasy receiver is a huge plus for a fantasy roster.

'Hard work and dedication, I always put my job first before anything, no matter what it is. I'm always just dedicating myself. Unfortunately, it just happened like that. I mean, it is what it is,' Gronkowski said. 'I have a lot of fun with my family. It was the first time I got to see them in a while. We were just having fun with my brothers and stuff, friends I hadn't seen...'
