Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is a Buffalo native, but was very much disliked around his hometown during his playing career.
A bit of a cheap shot on Tre’Davious White doesn’t help, neither did his complete domination of the Bills during his career. His numbers are ridiculous against Buffalo.
In 15 career games, Gronkowski had 69 career catches for 1,070 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Now retired, Gronk recently joined FOX Sports as an analyst. During his pregame analysis on Sunday ahead of Week 11’s 1 p.m. games, Gronkowski was talking about the Bills and specifically his playing career.
Gronkowski knows he dominated the Bills and said because they were his hometown team, that’s exactly what fueled him to do so.
“Every time I played the Buffalo Bills, I loved dominating them. I felt like I dominated them because I felt like a child going out there against the Bills. I grew up in Buffalo,” Gronkowski said.
“The more they try to hate me in Buffalo, the more I enjoyed playing there, That’s what made it so great, when you felt like that. When you have that mental edge, it’s like nothing can stop you and you’re unstoppable and invincible out there on the field,” Gronkowski added.
While Bills fans might not like hearing this, they should. It’s much better to hear than to see Gronk continue doing it, right?
