It's hard to work out Gronk's thinking here. When he was with the Patriots by common consent, he was one of the hardest-working players in the building. He apparently hated nothing more than not being able to train. One of the first ones in and last to leave. Bill consistently said that. So clearly, he liked the work. So what exactly is he saying? Suddenly he hated working hard and just wanted fun? I don't buy it. Jules, Chung, High, D-Mac, Slater, KVN, Andrews, Mason, none of those guys said it was a miserable time.
It's the lack of gratitude that annoys me I have to say with players. Gronk was a draft no-go. No team wanted him. he was playing for Arizona, not exactly stellar and he had serious back issues. Bill looked in-depth, did his homework and took a shot. And Gronk became maybe the greatest TE in NFL history, is a sure-fire lock for Canton and was voted on the NFL100 greatest players of all time where BB was one of the judges! Gronk is nothing without Bill having chosen him and putting on the field with Tom Brady who Bill also pulled from Draft hell and gave him a shot.
