With everyone talking about how great you are, do you want to focus on what you can improve on going into your third year?
“Yes. For me, I know I’m going to have to block a lot better. I think it is going to help me with my routes. Especially when they have me double-teamed and I stay in there and block. Or I am pushing people off the ball, and showing that I can do that, being an every down tight end and play 65 snaps a game. I think that is only going to help me. I continue to work on that and my footwork. I have gotten a little bigger. I am trying to develop in my third year of football.” How much bigger are you? “I still weigh the same but I can list it a little bit more now. I’m about 265. I was at 270 last week. I play probably around 265.” What do you think about Coach Vitt having a list of things that you need to improve on? “Coach Vitt is always hard on me. He is always talking to me. Always telling me that I am a quiet leader on the team and that I have to lead by my play. I have to lead by how I hustle, my passion for the game, and that is really some of the things he is talking about. I am still a young player. I have been in the NFL for two years and I have been playing for two and a half. I only think I can go up from here. With Drew (Brees) always on top of me and Pete (Carmichael), I am definitely going to continue to get better just one day at a time.” What can we expect to see this year that we didn’t see last year? “I really just want to do a play or do something that helps this team win every game. I think, another thing is to get a bunch of yards after the catch and focus on that. Focus on protecting myself, getting my shoulder down, and pushing for those extra few yards.” Continue reading. |

Hard to imagine he can still get better. I think Gronk's record is toast this year!

This guy has ultimate drive. I cannot imagine him getting much better. Cool that he holds himself accountable is humble. I hope he is a Saint for life.
