Rob Gronkowski Says This Hit Is One Of the Hardest He’s Ever Taken

Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski is one big dude. I'm surprise he feels any pain running over DBs. But he says this hit from safety Earl Thomas during Sunday's game against the Seahawks was one of the hardest he's ever taken...

“Yeah, that was a big hit for sure; probably one of the hardest I’ve got hit in my career for sure. [It was] by a good player; a good fast player who’s like a missile. It was a good, clean hit; nothing against it. I just took it and it just knocked the wind out of me a little bit, that’s all. If you’ve ever gotten the wind knocked out of you, you know what that feels like. Just down for about a minute or two, it’s a little tough to breathe, but once it comes back, you’re good.”
