Gronkowski has been voted into the Patriots Hall of Fame as the 38th inductee, continuing a streak of Patriots greats honored in consecutive years.

He retires as a Patriot after a nine-year run with New England and two seasons with Tampa Bay, finishing with 9,286 receiving yards and 92 touchdowns, ranking sixth and third among tight ends.

Drafted in the 2010 second round from Arizona, his career included standout moments from a rookie surge in 2010 to a record-setting 2016 season, with later Super Bowl runs and postseason contributions.

The full press conference and related materials are linked in the article for additional context.

A pivotal 2013 season was cut short by a torn ACL/MCL after limited games despite earlier production.

The 2015 season featured a strong all-Pro performance with clutch late-season catches amid injuries.

His 2010 rookie year included early touchdowns and a notable late-regular-season surge that set the tone for his career.

In 2017, high-level play was tempered by a suspension for a hit on Tre’Davious White and a postseason concussion, though he delivered a standout Super Bowl LII showing.

Gronk credited then-offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and tight ends coach Brian Ferentz for guiding him through a legendary interview experience.

A 2012 contract extension worth $54 million was followed by arm injuries and a season-ending re-injury.

The 2011 breakthrough season included 18 total touchdowns, a Pro Bowl selection, and First Team All-Pro honors despite a high ankle sprain in the conference championship.

The induction story comes from Western Mass News, with pending official ceremony details.
