In his second season Rob delivered on his promise to be in shape and to help the patriots win. He details how tough it is to be a Patriot. The way that they do not celebrate success and only focus on the mistakes that players make it seems like a harsh place to play but in reality it is one of the better organizations to be in it has cultivated and brewed success under Belichick, Kraft and Brady to say the least Rob Gronkowski was a pivotal piece in revitalizing the city of Boston. The road did have bumps, bruises and nicks along the way for Gronk but it was definitely not the hardest thong he has accomplished.
