People are going crazy over Rob Gronkowski’s Madden 21 player rating
People are going crazy over Rob Gronkowski’s Madden 21 player rating
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a couple of major additions during the offseason, including bringing in QB Tom Brady and trading for his teammate TE Rob Gronkowski.
Gronkowski, who took a year off from football, expressed his desire to play with Brady and said that Tampa Bay was the perfect place for him to come back to the game.
With Gronk back on the field, many have wondered just how good he can be after a year off and a massive amount of weight lost.
Some think Rob Gronkowski will be a shell of his former self and not make much of an impact at all. Still, there are others who think he can still play at a level similar to what we saw with him in New England during those last few seasons, especially now that he has had a year off to rehab and recuperate.
One could say that the folks at Madden 21 are on the latter side of things.
Rob Gronkowski is rated as the No. 3 tight end in the league, according to Madden
Rob Gronkowski, according to Madden 21, is the third-highest rated tight end in the league.

The only two tight ends who are rated ahead of Gronk coming into the year are George Kittle and Travis Kelce.
While Buccaneers fans absolutely will enjoy the luxury of playing with a 95-rated Gronkowski on Madden, many others across social media had a major problem with him going so high.

No way in hell Gronk should be a 95. A year off after dealing with a year where he looked battered by injuries?

He should be around an 80, at best.
How is gronk rated 9 points higher than Mark Andrews and how the hell is Greg Olsen better than Darren Waller. Fire everyone

Gronk's rating is going to go down so quick lol. He's been struggling with injuries, been out of the league for a year, and he's starting to get up there in age a bit. He's super overrated in the game this year. Once the actual season starts it'll drop really quick.

Rob Gronkowski hasn’t played in over a year and he gets a 95 overall? Let’s cool our ropes a bit @EAMaddenNFL. pic.twitter.com/qYsiIIxOBW

It’s really all fun and games when you think about it.
Some people may be a little mad to see Gronk so high, but I believe most are happy to see him back on the field.
Next. Veterans who are firmly on the roster bubble. dark
What will he do when he’s on the field? Well, I’m not sure that he’ll live up to that 95 rating. But that still doesn’t mean he won’t have a successful season with the Buccaneers.
