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.
