Gronk Loved Blocking

Tom Brady remembers choosing to run behind Rob Gronkowski rather than an offensive tackle. Touchdown catches make the highlight reels, but this recollection is about the work that opens a path for somebody else.
In "Gronk Loved Blocking", No Huddle Shorts pairs Brady's New Heights interview with game footage of Gronkowski handling defenders at the line. "I think Gronk was the greatest blocking tight end in history," Brady says. Then comes the affectionate explanation: perhaps Gronk enjoyed staying in to block because it saved him running so many routes.
The clips channel's most-watched new upload reached roughly 275,000 views. Viewers are discussing the combination of receiver and lineman in one player, along with the respect behind Brady's assessment. Another upload, "Gronk Earned This Touchdown From Josh McDaniels", gives the same familiar figure a second outing, using material credited to Gronk and Jules.
Elsewhere, Calvin Johnson recalls taking his hardest hit from London Fletcher, while a Not Just Football interview supplies a story about Mike Tomlin giving Troy Polamalu freedom. The channel's busiest older clip remains James Harrison's account of a Cleveland Browns streaker, followed by Nick Saban's Tua Tagovailoa story.
No Huddle Shorts added about 6.4 million views and gained subscribers over the week, though its daily viewing pace is below usual. That weekly view gain is the largest among its nearby sports-media peers; BarDown also gained subscribers, while NFL Fantasy Football and Mina Kimes - ESPN had quieter viewing days relative to their usual pace.
