Penn State TE Known as 'Baby Gronk' Would Love to Join Patriots in 2021 Draft
By Ian Anderson
Is the next Rob Gronkowski on the way for the perennial Super Bowl contender New England Patriots?
Hearts across the Northeast United States were shattered when future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski announced his retirement from the National Football League in March.
Will the stars align and the Patriots find their newest starlet in the form of a Penn State monster dubbed 'Baby Gronk'?

Pat Freiermuth is a sophomore tight end at No. 9 Penn State who has been drawing comparisons to the former Patriot since high school.
Freiermuth is a 6-5 256 pounds behemoth who can catch the ball as well as a wide receiver while also contributing as a fantastic run blocker. Baby Gronk grew up a Patriots fan, so of course it would be his dream to follow in the footsteps of Gronkowski.
As you can tell from these highlights, the kid is a stud. Will we see him in New England in the near future?
