Tight end Rob Gronkowski’s return to the field has added a dimension to the Patriots’ offense that they sorely lacked in their six games without him. Gronkowski has been New England’s leading receiver in two of his three games, and has earned a grade of 1.5 or better in all three. The former Arizona Wildcat star has played limited snaps as he works himself back into football shape, and has been used more as a receiver than in his traditional role of do-it-all tight end. The sooner that he can get back to playing every offensive snap, the better, as Gronkowski has finished in the Top 5 in cumulative run blocking grades among tight ends in each of his first three seasons. His contributions as a receiver cannot be understated though: Gronkowski’s 3.42 Yards per Route Run would lead all tight ends by more than half a yard if he had played enough snaps to qualify.
