Rob Gronkowski, who could be playing in his final game this Sunday, will be remembered as one of the best tight ends of all time.
Gronkowski said when he was younger the tight ends he looked up to were Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and former Giant Jeremy Shockey.
“I loved Jeremy Shockey when he was in his heyday,” Gronkowski said.
