Rob Gronkowski appreciated the support from Julian Edelman following a juicy story told by a former teammate.

When appearing on “Primetime with Alex Stein,” via Fox News, former Patriots defensive end Jake Bequette said that Gronkowski used to party out in Boston until the early morning hours. He would then be driven to the Patriots facility, where he would pass out on the training tables.

Edelman did not take too kindly to the story, labeling it “BS” in a tweet over the weekend.

In typical “Gronk” fashion, the legendary tight end retweeted Edelman’s Twitter post and responded with a couple of emojis.

If anything, this shows that Gronk will be Gronk, and the bond between teammates can often never be broken, even with playing days in the past.

Former New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung is joining Julian Edelman to call out an ex-teammate’s drunken Rob Gronkowski story as fake.

Jake Bequette, a former defensive end for the Patriots, appeared on “Primetime with Alex Stein” and talked up tales of the legendary tight end getting wasted on the eve of football games, being dropped off at the Patriots’ facilities and crashing on the training tables.

According to Bequette, the trainers would then come in the next morning and stick an IV in Gronkowski’s arm to get him going for game day.

“They would go over there, they wouldn’t wake him up, they would roll up one of his sleeves and, you know, stick an IV in his arm,” said Bequette, via Fox News. After a couple hours, he would just wake up like Frankenstein revived and go out there and just kick ass.”

Edelman called out the story as fake over the weekend, and Chung retweeted that response on Twitter, while also sharing some thoughts of his own.

“Exactly. People just want their time of fame. Willing to do anything to get it,” Chung posted.

There have been multiple drunken Gronkowski stories over the years that it’s sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction for outsiders.

However, there’s no accomplishing anything close to what Gronkowski did over the course of his illustrious career without incredible discipline and work ethic. The difference between the working and party ratio couldn’t have been close.

Former legendary New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman has seemingly had enough of the epic stories depicting a drunken Rob Gronkowski partying himself unconscious before football games.

A recent story from Edelman’s former teammate Jake Bequette claimed Gronkowski would get wasted before games and have his crew drop him off at the Patriots’ facility, where he’d crash for the night on one of the training tables.

“So then, like an hour or two later, when the trainers would come in to start their workday, they’d come in there and see Gronk just sprawled out on the training table, just fast asleep,” said Bequette, when appearing on “Primetime with Alex Stein”, via Fox News. “They would go over there, they wouldn’t wake him up, they would roll up one of his sleeves and, you know, stick an IV in his arm. After a couple hours, he would just wake up like Frankenstein revived and go out there and just kick ass.”

That’s a story that would have taken the drunken Gronkowski tales to another level, but according to Edelman, it isn’t true.

“Story is BS. Everyone wants to paint Gronk as a party animal. When in reality he was one of the most dedicated teammates I had,” Edelman posted on social media.

It’s clear Gronkowski had to put in the work to finish his career as the greatest tight end in NFL history.

Not only did he show up to work every day, but he also earned the trust of the greatest quarterback that ever lived, Tom Brady, on route to winning four Super Bowls in his career.

We can all admit that would be tough to achieve as a Frankenstein version of himself.

Former Patriots DE Jake Bequette running for Senate in Arkansas

The 2022 United States Senate election in Arkansas will be held on November 8, 2022

Former New England Patriots defensive end Jake Bequette announced he is running for a Senate position in Arkansas with a Twitter post on Monday. Bequette, who played for New England from 2012 to 2015, spent time in the military after his football career. It appears he’s in search of funding for the next step of his career as a politician.

“What’s happening in Washington these days is a disgrace. Democrats have been taken over by radical socialists, and too many Republicans just go along to get along,” Bequette said in a video. “I’m a God-fearing Christian conservative who is 100 percent pro-life and pro-police.”

Here’s more from Bequette:
