Rob Gronkowski’s 2011 season named one of the best receiving seasons of the 2010s

NFL.com listed Bucs tight end Rob Gronkowski’s big 2011 season as one of the best receiving seasons of the 2010s.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers boasted the league’s best passing attack in 2019, thanks to receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Now, the Bucs offense will have even more depth in the receiving game thanks to the acquisition of tight end Rob Gronkowski.

The future Hall of Famer will reunite with Tom Brady after their successful nine-year run together with the Patriots that produced three Super Bowl wins. Gronk’s best season came in 2011 when he collected 90 receptions for 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns, a single-season record for a tight end.

Not surprisingly, that historic season made NFL.com’s list of the top 10 receiving seasons of the 2010s. Gronk came in at No. 8.

Take a look at the video to see highlights from that year.

This Adam Schefter tweet proves the Bucs came out winners in the Gronk trade

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pulled off a trade for former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, who will end his retirement to reunite with Brady.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made another major splash before this week’s NFL draft, agreeing to a trade with the New England Patriots for tight end Rob Gronkowski, who will end his one-year retirement and reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa.

Gronk is arguably the greatest tight end to ever play the game, and the chemistry he and Brady developed on the field helped New England continue its reign of dominance over the past decade.

And, as the details of the trade emerge, it’s clear the Buccaneers came out big winners in this, especially when you consider what the Lions almost gave up in 2018, had a proposed Gronk-to-Detroit trade gone through.

Here’s Adam Schefter with the details.

It certainly seems like the Bucs fleeced the Patriots in this, surrendering just a fourth-round pick, which was a compensatory pick the Bucs were recently awarded, so they still have a pick in round four. For the Patriots, they needed to shed Gronk’s contract, especially if he wasn’t going to be a part of their reboot in New England.

It’s another major victory for the Bucs, but paper teams don’t win championships. This squad will have to produce in 2020. And with the acquisition of Gronk, the pressure is on.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news that former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was interested in ending his retirement and returning to the field. The catch? He wanted to do it with Tom Brady and the new-look Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Turns out, Gronkowski got his wish, as the Patriots and Bucs worked out a trade that’ll officially bring Gronk to the Bucs.

 

Gronk and Brady were a dynamic duo in New England, and even though Gronkowski has been out of football for a year, he has plenty of time between now and the start of camp to get back into football shape.
