Gronk is still Gronk, as he continues to score for Bucs

Usually when NFL players take a year off, they don’t come back like new.

Rob Gronkowski apparently just needed the rest.

In the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, Gronkowski caught two touchdowns for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He hit a 20-yard touchdown and a 1-yard touchdown to give the Bucs a 14-0 lead. It came after his 90-yard, two-touchdown game against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1.

Gronkowski could have retired and many would have considered him the most dominant tight end of all time. In his heyday, he was an absolute force, not only catching the ball from Tom Brady, but also blocking. Gronkowski came out of retirement last season to follow Brady to Tampa Bay, started slow but came back strong and had a big Super Bowl.

Gronkowski added to his Hall of Fame legacy last season. It looks like he’s going to add a lot more this season.
