The legendary duo of Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski is arguably one of the most iconic pairings in NFL history. They have consistently praised and supported each other throughout their careers. Just a month ago, Julian Edelman came to Rob’s defense against claims of excessive partying, responding to an article by Fox News. He emphatically stated that Gronk was, without a doubt, one of the most devoted teammates he had ever known, and the news report was entirely false. Recently, in the New Height podcast, Julian Edelman spilled some beans about Gronk, which left him high and dry.
Even after retirement, the duo still bewitched us with their friendship goals. And Julian’s recent interview made it crystal clear to the public.

On Wednesday, Julian sat down with Travis Kelce and Jason to discuss his life after retirement. Amid the discussion, Kelce asked an intriguing question about Rob. “You mentioned kind of relating it to your playing days Gronk was on the show, and he talks all about how he never watched films. Is that the Patriot way?”
While answering this question, Julian said, “Nah, Nah Gronk played so much. I mean, they could only do three things. I mean, to him, it’s like two high where he is bending it, or it’s single higher he’s staying up the scene and blowing. The crazy thing about Gronk is Gronk is low-key like Rain Man and can see you throw numbers out there. Gronk knew numbers real well when the coach would get on him early in his career, and, like, he never made that mistake again. Like, his football knowledge is, like, outrageous.”
He acknowledged Rob’s passion for football, and he doesn’t need to watch any movies. And this is even truer because Rob is one of the finest tight ends in the NFL. As a four-time Super Bowl Champion and a five-time Pro Bowl selection, he is indeed a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But do you know that Julian is also one of the outstanding players for the New England Patriots?

Two talents- Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman
Rob and Julian are two of the finest players on the New England Patriots. Even after their retirement, they continued to be a topic of discussion in the online world. Their absence used to be nerve-wracking for the team. Do you remember the days when the duo played together on the field on November 27, 2016? It was 31 games long; it was indeed an amazing season, and the duo played amazingly. But after that, they disappeared, as Gronkowski had a terrible ankle injury and Julian had a little extra hop in his step in his first practice on Monday.
It was like wreaking havoc on the team; as Phillip Dorsett said, “Obviously, it’s amazing. It’s great to have him back because it’s another body for us, and it’s a great one—he’s Julian Edelman. He’s the leader of our room. We needed him back. Not having Gronk out there sometimes… when Gronk does come back, we’re going to be hard to deal with because that’s a lot of bodies thrown at you.”
