Glenn Gronkowski Quotes

I was mainly a blocker in college. I mainly lined up in the backfield at fullback.

If I was going to play offense, I'd love to play running back. In high school I played quarterback and wide receiver, but I wouldn't mind running over some folks.

Running back was always my favorite position.

As a running back, it takes five offensive linemen, a tight end, a fullback and possibly two wide receivers, in order to make my job successful.

Any time you get a new running back, whether it's a rookie or hasn't played a lot, that's the first thing you test, is their pass protection. That's big.

You can't put a running back in there and have him not know who to pick up. You can't get your quarterback hit.

I played every position, from right tackle to quarterback and everything in between.

If they need me to have 25 carries and eight catches a game, whatever they need me to do, I'm ready to go. Or if they need me to have eight carries and six catches but play the whole game and pass protect and help shifts on the D-ends, I'm ready to go.

I make plays in the passing game, blocking, doing everything.

My job is to go put the ball in the end zone.

It all goes through the quarterback.

I'm negative-three yards in the rushing department. Nobody wants to go out with negative-three yards rushing.

There are a lot of good tight ends.

I've split out, played receiver, I've been a fullback, I've been in-line.

I want to go play behind that great offensive line they have down in Dallas.

Getting to the halfbacks is a big part of any game.

I didn't play soccer; I played that other football in grade school through college.

I think I am a good running back, but I'm really not that fast. There is only one thing I can do, that is throw a cross-body block. Picture perfect. I love it. Not that good at pass blocking.

At the highest level in the NFL, the pass game is as complex as you can imagine.

When it comes down to it, you're playing football regardless of what offense you're in.

If it's an outside zone play, you have the green light to cut-block.

Remember that. I ran from the line of scrimmage.

Would you rather have a good fullback or a good third receiver? I'll take the receiver.

I can play left-back; I can play in midfield or on the left or right wings.

Being a tight end, you have to be able to do everything. You have to be able to run routes; you have to be able to block, pass-protect, and run with the ball after a catch. So, that's how I attack my workouts - focusing on doing everything.
