Why we've missed NFL star Rob Gronkowski this season

The big man is back this weekend.

USA TODAY REPORTED that Patriots All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski is likely to make his return Sunday for a showdown with the New Orleans Saints.

Gronkowski has been recovering since last season from a nagging injury and infection to his left forearm and back surgery. But we’ve missed him dearly, and hope he does return this weekend. Here’s why:

His sheer size and stature:

His ridiculous toughness:

The entertaining touchdown celebrations:

    Probably, but if gronk can take some pressure off the new recivers might just lose the tension there so obviously carting out on to the field with them , anyway GO PATS

    Rob Gronkowski Hugh, pretty obvious from the title and then the following article. Plus photos and gifs, also with the added bonus of his name on the back of his shirt in some.
