Rob  "Gronk" Gronkowski

I will be looking at Rob Gronkowski now, an American football player who plays as tight end for the New England Patriots in the NFL. He is a super bowl champion and 3-time pro bowl champion.

Rob was born on 16th of May 1989 in Williamsville, New York. He was drafted for the New England Patriots in 2010. In 2011, he set the single-season record for most touchdowns by a tight end, 17.

He attended Williamsville High School in his youth where he played tight end in football and centre in basketball. He excelled in football, recording 36 interceptions, 7 touchdowns and 6 sacks! Due to his performances on the pitch, he was named an All-Western New York first-team player and an All-State second-team player. In 2006 he moved to Pittsburgh where he attended Woodlands High School. He had a terrific season and so, was recruited by Kentucky, Arizona, Ohio State, Clemson, Louisville, Maryland and Syracuse. He later attended University of Arizona where he played from 2007-2009. He set a tight end school record. He was drafted by the New England Patriots as the 42nd pick in the second round in 2010.

We see in an article that he grew up with 2 other brothers and excelled in sport ahead of them but it says "It’s a world of great genetics, but there’s no way genetics alone produced Rob" His father made him suffer through heredity and hard work yet he knew what buttons to push but not to push too hard. His father instilled a practiced and strict routine from an early age, only allowing him to start with weights under his supervision. We can clarify that is was hard work and training from a young age and a natural ability to play football that has gotten him to where he is today.
