Gronk to NFL?

Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski has told the Arizona Daily Star that he will declare for the NFL Draft if he is cleared medically. 

The decision will be announced Wednesday.  Gronk filed his paperwork with the NFL to gauge interest from NFL teams.  Apparently the interest was high enough for him and his family to decide that if he is healthy, and recovered from back surgery, he will forgo his senior season.

Star-divide

Gronk is a super-freak of an athlete, but I question this move.  He is entering a draft class with Oklahoma's Jermaine Gresham and Oregon's Ed Dickson -- two players who could very easily be selected before Gronk.  If he comes back to Arizona for his senior, I think he could be a top-15 selection in the 2011 NFL Draft. 

At this point, clearly it is all speculation.  But I think I speak for Arizona fans everywhere when I say: COME BACK FOR ONE MORE YEAR ROB!

Bear Down Cats fans.

His father says the interest is there

9 teams said he’s a 1st rounder, 9 said he’s a 2nd rounder

Kiper said he should go back to school

for what that’s worth. He also said Jamarcus Russell could be a top-5 elite NFL quarterback.

well he was drafted top 5

and if he has a good financial advisor, he could retire already… kinda scary huh?

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
