But Gronkowski said that he has high respect for punters and their job is difficult. “I’ve always respected kickers and everything that they’ve done. The respect level has just gone to another degree on what they do. It’s kind of like art. It’s like a formula, it’s special what they can do.” The TE trains for 15 hours a day and will give his absolute best. He will try to not let himself and the fans down on Sunday.
