Rob Gronkowski Become First Tight End To Ever Reach This NFL Playoff Milestone

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski had a terrible season and he was struggling with his injuries. However, he hit an incredible NFL playoff milestone, and it makes him the very first tight end to ever achieve that.

Rob Gronkowski is the first tight end to reach 1,000 career receiving yards in the playoffs.

In the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Gronk became the only tight end in the league’s history to have 1,000 receiving yards in the postseason. Gronk had 997 coming into the match.

Rob Gronkowski is a leader

The Patriots tight end is already the all-time leader in receiving yards for tight ends. Gronkowski os also one of the 15 players to record 1,000 playoff receiving yards.

Is Gronk the best tight end in the NFL history? You bet he is. His claim as the ultimate tight end grows stronger with every game he plays in. If Gronk decides to retire after the season, he will sure do that on a higher note than other tight ends in the league.

Gronk is not the only Patriot to hit milestones. Great things happen every time the Patriots hit the field. The tight end, Rob Gronkowski, Tom Brady and the rest of the guys hit a NFL milestone in every game. That’s what makes them this great. NFL teams admit that the New England Patriots are an excellent team, and these milestones confirm that.

“We’ve been hearing things like that forever now for a few years. So we just laugh at it, whatever they say, and we just keep moving forward,” Gronk said about the haters who made comments on his team.

The Patriots are off to Atlanta to play the most important game in the season. They will be playing the Los Angeles Rams, and the players will have to give their best this time.
