This mural outside Raymond James Stadium perfectly captures Gronk

A new banner outside Raymond James Stadium featuring tight end Rob Gronkowski seems to perfectly capture his personality.

While Tom Brady will no doubt be the center of attention once the 2020 season rolls around for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fans are just as eager to see what his former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski can do.

The All-Pro tight end came out of his one-year hiatus to reunite with Brady in Tampa, hoping to bring the “Patriot Way,” or at least the winning part of it, to the bay.

Gronk has a lot to live up to in 2020, namely that 95 rating in Madden NFL 21, but based on this latest mural outside Raymond James Stadium, it seems the party boy is ready for the challenge.

Take a look at this new banner, which seems to perfectly capture Gronk’s personality.

It’s part goofy face. Part game face. All Gronk.

Oh, yeah, and Devin White looks good, too.

Chef Gronk surprises a friend for his birthday… sort of

See what Rob Gronkowski cooked up for his friend’s birthday.

Rob Gronkowski may be an All-Pro tight end and future Hall of Famer, but the new Buccaneer is also a man of many skills and talents off the field. Gronk has shown us his athletic range in his new CBS show “Game On!” and now is showing off his skills in the kitchen.

The big man took to Instagram to give fans a look at a replacement birthday cake he made for his friend recently, although it seems things didn’t go exactly as planned.

Take a look.

Fortunately, Gronk made sure to get his buddy a memorable birthday present.

It’s not the first time Gronk has had a little too much birthday cake this offseason, as he and his friend Mr. Stache enjoyed a face-full the other month.

Rob Gronkowski shows appreciation for girlfriend Camille Kostek on Instagram

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski took to Instagram over the week to show some love to his girlfriend, Camille Kostek.

Rob Gronkowski will be making his triumphant return to the football field this season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after taking a year off from the game.

The Bucs pulled off a trade for the future Hall of Fame tight end days before the 2020 NFL draft, bringing Gronk out of retirement and down to Florida to reunite with Tom Brady.

Gronk will be bringing his fun-loving personality to the Bucs, and while he may feel some pressure playing for a new team, he’ll have his girlfriend, super model Camille Kostek, there by his side.

Gronk took to Instagram recently to show appreciation for Kostek, who has been by his side for years.

Take a look.

Rob Gronkowski’s latest Madden rating may surprise you

Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski is making his triumphant return to the field in 2020. See what rating the people over at Madden gave him.

Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans may have a gripe with the ratings people over at Madden NFL 21, given that they have Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams rated higher than him.

But one Buccaneer player who is probably more than happy with his latest rating is Rob Gronkowski, the former New England Patriot who ended his one-year retirement this offseason to reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa after the Bucs swung a trade with the Pats for the All-Pro tight end.

During his playing days, Gronk was easily the best at his position, and he still holds the single-season record for touchdown catches by a tight end with 17. And despite being away from football for a whole year, the Madden people still think Gronk can dominate with Brady by his side.

For the record, Gronk’s rating is higher than Evans, who stands at 92 overall.

While Gronk has certainly played up to that 95 rating in the past, this will be an entirely new offensive system for him. Plus, this offseason has been a difficult one for players joining new teams given the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic. I’d have been all right with Gronk being fourth on this list and Ertz third, at least to start.

The pressure is on for Gronkowski to live up to that 95.

Some more up close photos of Bucs players in their new threads

Take a look at some more photos of the Bucs in their new uniforms.

Training camp is right around the corner, meaning the Tom Brady era in Tampa will officially be underway.

The Buccaneers are going for glory in 2020, hoping to become the first team ever to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium as Raymond James will host Super Bowl LV next year.

For Brady, this season offers him the chance to prove to any doubters that his success in New England wasn’t just because of Bill Belichick’s system. Fortunately, he’ll have his former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski right by his side in a Bucs jersey of his own.

And for the championship duo, they’ll be donning the look of the championship Bucs of yesteryear and won’t have to deal with those alarm clock uniforms the team unveiled back in 2014. Tampa Bay went through a jersey redesign again this offseason, and unveiled the new look shortly after Brady signed.

Here are some new up close pictures of the players in their new threads.

First official photos of Rob Gronkowski in a Bucs uniform

Take a look at tight end Rob Gronkowski donning his new Tampa Bay Buccaneers uniform.

It’s a good week to be a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan (maybe not so much a New England Patriots fan, though).

After unveiling Tom Brady decked out in a Bucs uniform earlier this week, the Buccaneers went ahead and gave us a look at his favorite target of all time, Rob Gronkowski, in his Bucs threads now.

The Hall of Fame bound tight end, who came out of retirement to join Brady in Tampa, looks to be back in football shape if these pictures are any indication. And, like Brady, he looks fantastic in Bucs colors.

Take a look below.

Want to see Gronk and Brady in Bucs uniforms?

Now teammates in Tampa Bay, take a look at what Gronk and Brady look like together in Bucs jerseys.

The 2020 offseason will likely be regarded as the biggest in Buccaneers franchise history, as the team not only landed six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in free agency, but also worked out a trade with the New England Patriots to bring Brady’s running mate Rob Gronkowski to the bay.

Gronk, who sat out all of 2019, was looking to come out of retirement and return to football, but only wanted to do so with Brady in Tampa Bay. Remember, back in 2018 the Patriots had a deal in place to send Gronk to the Detroit Lions before the tight end threatened to retire.

Patriots fans are probably in a state of disbelief right now as they’ve just lost both of their franchise stars within a month of each other. And, this picture from Adam Schefter showing Brady and Gronk in Bucs jerseys probably won’t help them feel any better.

Take a look.

Even for Bucs fans, that image probably feels unreal. But it’s happening. Enjoy it.
