‘Top 100 Players of 2014’: Rob Gronkowski – NFL Videos
Big year coming up for the Gronk, if he can just be healthy in January and February I think the Pats have a legit shot at winning the Super Bowl. Without him, they’d have to catch all the breaks, which isn’t out of the question, but it would obviously be a whole lot easier with #87 on the field.
I’m a little bit smaller than most of the other guys around here. So to make up for that, I have to be fast and be able to cover, so I take that as a strength, and I work on it.
At 6-foot-3, 282 pounds, Will Smith is more Wilforkian than Revish, but during a drop-back drill for defensive ends, the big man moved well and made one leaping grab that was particularly impressive. For a player of his size – coming off of ACL surgery, no less – Smith showed glimpses of what made him a hard-to-handle athlete in New Orleans.
Julian Edelman was one of the stars of Thursday’s practice. The wide receiver caught three passes against Darrelle Revis – two along the left side line and one in the middle of the field. Kenbrell Thompkins was another wideout who stuck out.
I’m liking the Garoppolo look, definitely takes over second place on the “look” depth chart over Mallett.
WTF is going on with Brandon Bolden’s facemask? This is a NO on so many levels. Don’t make me root for you to get cut, Brandon. Did someone leave your helmet in the oven the entire offseason? I just can’t handle this.

Garoppolo started off hot, going 4-for-6 in 7-on-7s and 4-for-7 in 11-on-11s. But as the Patriots continued to work Garoppolo in 11-on-11 drills, he dropped to 13-for-24. Garoppolo spread the ball around well, targeting receivers and running backs.
What I wouldn’t give for a rookie Randy Moss on the Pats this year…
