Gronk Back In Town

Rob Gronkowski had one more setback to returning to the field. His agent described back surgery as "preventative maintenance", but nobody really does elective back surgery unless you play in the NFL. Gronk will miss part of training camp. Will he be ready for opening day? That's the big question.

He is starting to look very star-crossed with his accomplishments and injuries. His 58 TD's in his first three seasons put him in the company of Jerry Rice and Randy Moss as the only other players to do it. Both of them stayed healthy their entire career.

Gronk is becoming that familiar player who fights to the end to have a career, but injuries and the body end it prematurely. Will he become that guy? How many years will he play? What will the 2013 season look like for him?
