Most NFL teams can use a talent like DeAndre Hopkins on the outside. With the Cardinals standout reportedly available on the trade block, former Patriots star Rob Gronkowski believes his old team is the perfect spot for the five-time All-Pro.
The Patriots’ offense sputtered in 2022, with Jakobi Meyers leading the way for the club in receiving yards (804) and touchdowns (six). During an appearance on the NESN Ultimate Betting Show, Gronkowski said that a move for a wide receiver like Hopkins is one that the team “needs” to make this offseason, as Bill O’Brien takes over the offense in his return to New England as offensive coordinator.
“In order for them to make the playoffs, I think the Patriots need to go out and get a wide receiver,” Gronkowski said. “They need a guy like DeAndre Hopkins. The defense is very, very solid. And that offense can improve from whatever it was last season with Bill O’Brien having full control of the offense.
