Factoid
Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez formed quite a one-two punch last year. They both had huge seasons, and the Patriots used tight ends like no team has ever used them before.
New England’s tight ends, collectively, caught 169 passes. That’s 20 more receptions than any team in the last 20 years.
