3. Rob Gronkowski

In case you were living under a rock lately and didn’t hear the news, Gronk is back! The machine who redefined the tight end position will be returning and joining Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. Despite what everyone says about the two former New England Patriots, neither of them are washed up.

Brady somehow put together a solid year last season while leading his team to the playoffs even though he had virtually no help at all. Now, he is taking over the quarterback position in Tampa Bay that was previously held by a lackluster Jameis Winston who still managed to top the league in almost every passing statistic. Brady is going to have his best season ever and will have a familiar face to sling the ball to.

Gronk is without a doubt Brady’s favorite person on the field, so he will be getting a healthy portion of the team’s receptions. Also, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin will direct attention away from the giant TE so that he can burst through for easy yards and touchdowns.

He will start out with a 92 Madden 21 rating but has more than enough potential to jump that line up a ton as the year progresses.
