Buccaneers: 5 things that could go totally wrong in Tampa this season
4. Rob Gronkowski just takes up space
The Buccaneers are taking on quite the contract to have Rob Gronkowski on the roster for a year.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of the Tampa faithful is to see the formerly-retired veteran come out and not be able to perform at a high level.
No one expects that we’ll see the Gronkowski of yester-year. No one is thinking that he’ll come out and be one of the top tight ends in the league again. But, what if he’s simply just taking up a roster spot?
There’s always that fear until we see him on the field. I don’t think it will happen and I believe Gronk will be ready to contribute- both on the field and in the locker room as a leader- but you still have to hope for the best and fear the worst until we see it.
