 Tampa Bay Buccaneers star tight end Rob Gronkowski recently took to Twitter to congratulate his former New England Patriots teammate Deion Branch for getting a job as the new Director of Player Development of the Louisville Cardinals. The team had announced the news on Twitter, upon which the former football player tweeted: “I’m Backkkkkkkkkkkk. Truly an honor and blessing to be a part of greatness. I can’t wait to get the ball rolling with these amazing young men on the roster and great coaches on our staff!!!!!! #CARDS4LIFE.” The former Patriots wide receiver attended the University of Arizona 2000-2002. In his first season as a fresher, the receiver was named the first-team All-Conference USA selection and was voted to be Cardinals’ Most Valuable Player and Outstanding Offensive Performer. He was then drafted by the Patriots in 2002. And during his NFL career, the receiver [https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BranDe00.htm] went on to play for the Seahawks, the back again with the Patriots, and retired as a Colt in 2013. The veteran had played with the tight end Rob Gronkowski from 2010 to 2012. However, this is not the only team that the two share. ROB GRONKOWSKI CONGRATULATES DEION BRANCH ON STARTING HIS NEW JOURNEY Rob Gronkowski had also played for the Cardinals back in his college days. And that certainly connects the two offensive players even more. And so Gronks happy with the recent news tweeted out to Branch congratulating him for his job at their college team. “Congrats Deion!! You’re going to do great. You developed me as a young player on and off the field back in the hay day!” Gronkowski tweeted [https://twitter.com/robgronkowski/status/1482013387135590400?s=24].

He is on a playoff run again with his partner in crime Tom Brady. The two are certainly the most successful offensive duo in the history of football. And they may outperform that milestone, even more, this season. Do you think that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can claim the Super Bowl again this season? Let us know in the comments below!

New England Patriots

New England Patriots: 2024 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More The New England Patriots, a name that sparks excitement and pride, were born in 1959. From their roots in the Greater Boston area, they&#8217;ve grown into one of the most dominant teams in NFL history. But it wasn&#8217;t always this way. It took decades of perseverance, vision, and a little bit of magic to create the powerhouse that the Patriots are today. Thanks to owner Robert Kraft, former head coach Bill Belichick and former QB Tom Brady in major. Nov 26, 2023; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (38) celebrates his rushing touchdown against the New York Giants during the second half at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-USA TODAY Sports With over 7 million global fan base, this team is surely considered as the NFLâ€™s star team that has etched its name in the leagueâ€™s history book. The team owns navy blue, red, and silver color jerseys and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts as their identity. They are part of the AFC East division in the NFL and continue to amaze their fans with their strong performance. However, last year it failed drastically under the legendary head coach, Bill Belichick, with just 4 wins in 2023, leading to his exit and a new build-up. A look into the history of the New England Patriots! The story of the New England Patriots is one of perseverance, loyalty, and heart. Imagine a team that started in 1959 as the â€œBoston Patriotsâ€ in the AFL, struggling to find its footing, then completely transforming into a football dynasty that the world respects today. After the AFL-NFL merger, in 1971, they took on a new identity, becoming the â€œNew England Patriots,â€ and the stage was set for something bigger than anyone could have imagined. The real turning point came in 1994 when a passionate fan, Robert Kraft, stepped in and bought the team for $172 million. Kraft wasn&#8217;t just any owner â€“ he had been a fan since the &#8217;60s, and his love for the team was palpable. The magic started from that moment.Â  Dec 17, 2023; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick watches the team warm up before a game against the Kansas City Chiefs as owner Robert Kraft stands behind him at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Eric Canha-USA TODAY Sports Kraft didn&#8217;t just want to own a team â€“ he wanted to build a legacy. In his first year as the owner, the Patriots made it to the playoffs, after an eight-year drought. And that was just the beginning. His biggest move came in 2000 when he hired Bill Belichick, a no-nonsense coach with a mind for strategy that would forever change the team&#8217;s destiny. Just when people thought they knew what to expect from the Patriots, Belichick pulled off what would become the greatest NFL draft steal of all time-Tom Brady. Brady, a sixth-round pick, defied all odds and led the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories, creating a dynasty that every team wished for.Â  Feb 5, 2017; Houston, TX, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady celebrates with the Vince Lombardi Trophy after defeating the Atlanta Falcons 34-38 in Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports With â€œI&#8217;m Shipping Up to Bostonâ€ echoing through Gillette Stadium, fans knew they were part of something extraordinary. But it wasn&#8217;t just about Brady and Belichick. The Patriots earned fierce nicknames like â€œThe Evil Empireâ€ for their dominance, and â€œThe Boston TE Partyâ€ during their tight end golden era from 2010 to 2012. Six Super Bowl championships, ten appearances this is a franchise that rewrote the rules of what it meant to be a champion. Now valued at a whopping $7 billion, they&#8217;re proof to what happens when passion meets opportunity.Â  Notable milestones and achievements Super Bowl Titles: 6 (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII). AFC Championships: 11 titles (2018, 2017, 2016, 2014, 2011, 2007, 2004, 2003, 2001, 1996, 1985) Division Titles: 22 titles. Dynasty Period: Most successful period under head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, especially from 2001-2019.Â  Major rivalries of the New England Patriots New England Patriots vs New York Jets: Long-standing rivalry, intensified by personnel moves and playoff clashes. Both belong to the AFC East division, but thatâ€™s not the only reason behind their rivalry. The clash between Pats and Jets started on Sept. 17, 1960, when the two met each other for the first time. Jan 7, 2024; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe (4) is sacked by New York Jets linebacker Bryce Huff (47) in the first half at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY In that game, during the fourth quarter, â€œthe ball got away from Jets (known as Titans that time) punter Rick Sapienza, and the Patriots recovered and ran it back for a TD. The Jets argued the ball was kicked, an illegal motion, but the call stood. The Patriots won 28-24.â€ Additionally, side switching of coach Bill Parcels from New England to New York made after the 1997 Super Bowl, intensified the rivalry. Till now, they both have met 130 times with Patriots winning 74 games and the Jets winning 55 games.Â  New England Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts: Became prominent in the 2000s, especially during the Tom Brady-Peyton Manning era. Both the quarterbacks are considered as the greatest and legendary QBs in the league giving each other an equal competition. Besides this, because they are from two different divisions, they donâ€™t play every year. However, whenever they meet i.e. once every three years, this rivalry continues. Till now they have played 84 times against each other. The Pats have an edge in this record by winning 53 games and Colts winning 31 only.Â  New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens: Known for physical, competitive games, particularly in the playoffs. These two teams have not liked each other since their first meeting which took place on October 6, 1996, where the Patriots won 46-38. Despite being from two different teams, their postseason battles have intensified this rivalry. They have played 4 times in postseasons in which they tied 2-2. Additionally, the Patriots and the Ravens have met each other 16 times in total, in which the Ravens have won 5 while the Foxborough team has 11 game advantage.Â  Major contracts of the New England Patriots in 2024   Total CapÂ  $257,420,862 / 32nd  Top 51 Cap Space $40,914,115 / 2nd  Reserve Lists $2,882,086 / 11th  Dead Cap $39,086,590 / 12th  Who are the starters for the 2024 season? This year the Patriots are led by their new head coach, Jerod Mayo. However, the QB 1 role is still under scrutiny as either Drake Maye or Jacoby Brissett can take on the role. As per latest update, Brissett is still taking all the first-team reps, whereas Maye is â€œgetting better,â€ making a push to win the job. Apart from them, these players will be starting in their respective positions: Jul 26, 2024; Foxborough, MA, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (10) throws a pass during training camp at Gillette Stadium.

In total, he has eight Super Bowls (the other two were when he was an assistant coach with the Giants.) Tom Brady: He is considered as the GOAT of the NFL.

Being injured in such a physical sport is not unusual, and Gronk has suffered his share of <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/rob-gronkowski/3405" target="_blank" rel="noopener">injuries</a> throughout his career.
