NFL NEWS – Rob Gronkowski Take on His Offensive Pass
VIDEO: See What Rob Gronkowski is All About! Watch Epic Video below..
The four flags, though, are already double the amount of offensive pass interference calls he was flagged for last season, according to Reiss. It’s not like the call for that certain penalty is dramatically increasing around the league either, as Reiss points out that there have been 81 OPI calls this season through Week 10 compared to 75 last season.
Flags most certainly are not hurting his numbers in 2015 either. Through nine games, he has 49 receptions for 806 yards, which are on pace for career highs, to go with eight touchdowns.
With a quarterback like Tom Brady under center, the Patriots can move the ball at will, averaging 325.9 passing yards per game, thus chewing up big chunks of yards whenever they are facing long down-and-distance situations after penalties.
Gronkowsi realizes that too:
We’re playing well as an offense. It’s not that frustrating when I get the penalty and someone else makes a play on third-and-long. That definitely helps out right there, but got to just keep playing the game.
Gronkowski was drafted by the New England Patriots in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year contract on July 25, 2010. The deal was worth $4.4 million, with a $1.76 million signing bonus.
