The Youngest Gronkowski Wants to Be an Eagle

This is only one Gronk. At the same time, there are maybe Gronks. There’s Gordie Jr., Rob, Dan, Chris and “Baby Gronk” Glenn. Glenn is a fullback for Kansas State, and he’d really dig being drafted by the Eagles.
When a NASCAR writer asked whether his favorite NFL team, the Philadelphia Eagles, would be smart to take the youngest Gronkowski at the end of 2016’s first round, Glenn suddenly wore a serious look.
“You won’t be able to draft me at the end of the first round. Because I’ll already be taken.”
As his brothers slapped him on the back, Goose’s smile returned. “Just kidding. If I’m there, yeah, definitely take me.”
What he’s got going for him is Gronk blood. A kind of super-bro serum that seems to make Bud Light hounds into freak athletes. Against him? He’s a fullback – though that could make the Eagles Super Bowl champs – and the Eagles don’t even have a roster spot for one. The plus that puts him over the edge though? Little Gronk is reportedly the “brains of the bunch.” With the Gronkowskis though, who knows what that means.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
