The Patriots great witnessed his former team come within a game of becoming Super Bowl champions for the first time since 2018, when he last starred for the franchise.

New England had one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history, going from a 4-13 team in 2024 to a 14-3 squad that advanced to Super Bowl LX. However, the Patriots ultimately came up just a little short, losing 29-13 to the Seattle Seahawks. “I loved how they built that program,” said Gronkowski in a one-on-one interview.

"You got the head coach, you got the ownership, the foundation is there. They’re just a couple guys away from being Super Bowl champions or being competitive for another Super Bowl year in and year out. Their defense is always going to be solid, especially with Coach Vrabel leading the way, he just has the ins and outs, he knows the game so well.

He knows the players he needs on the defensive side of the ball. " The Patriots coasted to the Super Bowl in many ways, facing little adversity before Super Bowl LX. They had the easiest regular season schedule in the NFL, but managed to defeat three top five defensive units in the AFC playoffs in the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans and Denver Broncos.
