Rob Gronkowski: Even when we won regular-season games the Patriots felt like they had lost
Being a Patriot isnt all its cracked up to be, according to former New England tight end Rob Gronkowski
During a recent appearance on FanDuels Up Adams show, Gronkowski admitted that playing for the Patriots was tough, and that it became even tougher if they lost a game, which he said felt like super depression
A regular season game with the Patriots actually, throughout my 20s, if we won a game, the next day it felt like we still lost a game And if we lost a game, it felt like you were in super depression for like two days or like for the whole week
So thats what made you really want to win the games when you were with the Patriots Because you didnt want to ever feel that depression feeling for the two days after the game Youre like, We have to win the game We have to win the game so we have a good week, so we feel good tomorrow
Earlier this week, Gronkowski said during an appearance on the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce that he has even begun rooting for his hometown Buffalo Bills over his former team
OK, now Im retired again, so I wanna bring this back up, Gronkowski said, per Mason Im kind of a Buffalo Bills fan now, again
Gronkowski had been vocal about how difficult it was to play for the Patriots after he came out of retirement and the franchise traded him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, though he did express how grateful he was to play in New England
Many other former Patriots have also expressed how difficult it is to play for Belichick, including Tom Brady, Kyle Van Noy, Tedy Bruschi and Cassius Marsh, among others
Gronkowski spent nine seasons with the Patriots before retiring after the 2018 season He won three Super Bowls with the franchise and earned five Pro Bowl selections and four All-Pros
The Arizona product formed a strong bond with Brady and ultimately made the decision to leave retirement before the 2020 season to join the seasoned quarterback in Tampa Bay
