Former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is among those connected to the organization who support the hiring of Bill O’Brien as offensive coordinator.
Gronkowski actually had the best season of his career when O’Brien was the Patriots’ offensive coordinator back in 2011. He recorded 90 receptions for 1,327 yards and 17 touchdowns. It was the season that put him on the map and also helped O’Brien’s coaching stock, as he left New England for Penn State the following season.
