Gronk At 27

Rob Gronkowski claims that he will be ready for the season opener after having his second back surgery.

At 27, he has a lot of miles on his body. His injuries have caused him to miss 22 games in his career. His first back procedure wiped out his 2009 college season. He had four surgeries for his broken arm and one for his torn ACL.

He wants to play as long as he can. Will he be in the league in five years at the age of 32? That seems to be a lofty goal, considering his history of injuries.
