VIDEO: Willie McGinest Hints at Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett Patriots Comebacks on Instagram
By Mark Powell
Either Willie McGinest is trolling us all, or he knows something the national media doesn't. The Patriots legend *might have* hinted at a potential Rob Gronkowski and/or Martellus Bennett comeback on instagram. While an old video of the two former Pats tight ends catching passes from Drew Bledsoe doesn't look like much to the naked eye, the caption is where the real juice is.
Major comebacks to come? And notice it's plural (comebacks).
Could the news of an Antonio Brown signing really have swayed Bennett and Gronk to make another run at Super Bowl glory in Foxborough? It wouldn't shock us, given that Tom Brady is still the quarterback and can be quite persuasive when he wants to be.
Gronk left open a return to football in a recent press conference while also stating the NFL was no longer fun for him, specifically due to the injuries suffered as a result of a grueling schedule. Bennett, meanwhile, hasn't shown any inclination he might want to come back, even to the Pats.
For now, it's all hearsay, and perhaps just a Patriots legend fanning the flames surrounding the team. But, per usual, we can't discount anything McGinest says.
