Why we've missed NFL star Rob Gronkowski this season

The big man is back this weekend.

USA TODAY REPORTED that Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is likely to make his return Sunday for a showdown with the New Orleans Saints.

Gronkowski has been recovering since last season from a nagging injury and infection to his left forearm and back surgery. But we’ve missed him dearly, and hope he does return this weekend. Here’s why:

His sheer size and stature:

Skill and athleticism that makes him the Patriots biggest weapon:

His ridiculous toughness:

The entertaining touchdown celebrations:

    As a City supporter I must say we didn’t deserve to win that by that scoreline. City very poor in the first half again due to the Saints high and excellent press. Just very slow moving the ball again especially in midfield. Need to put Foden in there as Rogi passing back the whole time lately. Saints very unlucky.

    Not the best City performance but they finished stronger than Southampton and deserved the win Sterling again missing great chances

    @Michael Graham: yes not sure what can be.done about Sterling. He does all the hard work and then scuffs the finish. Has been doing that for a few seasons now.
