Another Gronkowski In New England?
BOSTON (CBS) -- One Gronkowski has worked out pretty well for the New England Patriots, so why not try out another?
The New England Patriots met with Glenn Gronkowski at the Senior Bowl Wednesday night, the youngest of the Gronkowski clan. He's been a fullback at Kansas State the last three years, and at 6-foot-3 and 234 pounds, Glenn believes he could play some tight end in the NFL. He is also taking snaps at running back and special teams at the Senior Bowl.
"I can do it all, and I want to do it all," Gronkowski told Yahoo! Sports. "Put me on special teams. Ask me to block. Hand off. Catching passes. That's what I am trying to do: show all the things I can do here."
Baby Gronk hasn't put up the eye-popping numbers his brother Rob did in college, with 16 rushes for 51 yards and a touchdown in his three years at K-State. He's done most of his damage in the passing game with 15 receptions for 369 yards and five touchdowns.
The Patriots had a pair of Gronkowskis on their roster back in 2011 when Dan Gronkowski was added to provide depth at tight end. Glenn is excited by the thought of possibly playing alongside his brother Rob, something he hasn't done on the football field.
"That would be awesome," he told ESPN. "I've actually never played with any of my brothers before. They've always been too old for me. ... Everyone else has played together, so to be on the same team, that would be a dream come true."
If the thought of two Gronkowskis on the field for the Patriots at the same time excites you, just imagine what the locker room would be like. Lots of noogies, fart jokes and giggling. Lots and lots of giggling.
The youngest Gronkowski is projected to go in the late rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft.
