The modern-day Patriots are reeling in the injury department, particularly at wide receiver with AJ Brown out, and don’t have a bona fide star to pair with Drake Maye, like Gronkowski was during his time with the team.Gronkowski was inducted into the Patriots’ Hall-of-Fame with a ceremony on Saturday, November 7, prior to Week 9’s home game against the Green Bay Packers. Sophie Weller of Patriots Wire shared a ‘Gronk’ comment about Belichick showed the love he has for his former coach.“The greatest of all time, no question about it…Thank you for doing whatever you felt necessary to get me to play at a high level. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to put our teams in the best possible situations. And thank you for drafting this so-called a-hole who would only talk about hot tubs on his pre-draft visits.”Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Belichick was not in a speaking mood regarding his former superstar tight end during the ceremony. Former teammates including Brady, linebacker Niko Koutouvides, wide receiver Troy Brown, Julian Edelman, and former offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels were also on the ceremony’s guest list.The party maven Gronkowski’s praise of the straight-laced Belichick shows that the respect runs deep.
