Rob Gronkowski Details His Current Relationship With Bill Belichick

Former New England Patriots star tight end Rob Gronkowski has always showed his former coach Bill Belichick the love. Gronk played for Belichick for nine years before retiring, then unretiring after a year off to play with Tom Brady in Tampa. Now that the two are technically no longer on the same squad, has that changed anything between Gronk and his former Coach?

Gronk says no, but interestingly enough, they haven’t spoken in a long time.

Via 247sports.com:

“It’s always been a great relationship actually, and I’m super blessed just to have the nine years that I had their, big time,” Gronkowski said. “I learned so much throughout my time there. But I would say the relationship’s fine. I mean, I really haven’t talked to (Belichick) at all since I’ve been traded to the Tampa Bay Bucs, but if I see him, you know, in the streets, if I see him out at an event, a football event, wherever it is, a charity event, I have absolutely no problem with him.”

“I feel like we would just, you know, kick it off like we normally would, any event, you know, talk some football real quick, because you know he’s got to always talk football, and just catch up quick. But I feel like there’ll be no problems at all and we’ll just kick it off like how we normally do.”

Gronk played his heart out for Belichick, so I doubt there’s any beef, but Belichick is super competitive, and probably doesn’t love that TB and Gronk won without him.

It would be amazing to see Belichick face Gronk and Brady in a meaningful game, that would be something to watch.
