Title: Is Gronkowski athletic enough to play safety for us ?

He has the right build and seems to have good speed for his size.    :lynchmob:

no, and we signed 3 to 4 safeties in this class (Gainous, Barnett (grey), Starks, and Burns might be)

Besides, Gronk's skills are perfectly tailored for H-Back.  Great receiving skills.

Yeah from his highlights he looks like he has some impressive recieving skills. But I have to admit safety really concerns me we have got to improve from 2y's era and Gronk had some nice breaks on the ball.  In your opinion who do you think will be our best option at safety? Isnt burns is kinda small for a d1 safety?

D. Burton could also be a D1 Safety

That's where you put H-Backs on an official roster.

Yep, our fan base will demand he play fullback. They need another strong looking white guy to worship as he runs through the hole and out the back of the endzone looking for someone to block while the RB gets tackled at the line of scrimmage.

lack of quality depth at FB expect him to get flexed a bunch

would be nice to have a FB who can run and catch.  see Rock for example.

Plus, if all his other brothers have NFL talent, this kid has to be worth something.  How long before he starts seeing the field?

Hartman was a pretty good run stopper.  Did you not watch the Cotton Bowl?  Idiots

I did and he had good game I will give him that.  Did you happen to see any of the other games he played??  And no bad tackling was not is only issue he has a knack taking the worst possible angle.

Hartman's reputation for tackling came from his JR year, and I think a lot of that was an injured shoulder. This year for the most part he was a solid tackler and took much better angles, but it was hard to make up for that JR year. Plus the struggles at times in pass defense.

I would imagine one of these reciever types that we recruited will have to end up at safety.

Can you imagine when the Gronk family descends on the little apple!? 

Brent: And there is the Gronkowski family doing the old Wabash cannonball
Kirk:  They sure are enjoying the show LHC Bill Snyder's boys, including the youngest Gronkowski, are putting on here.
Brent:  Rob may be a Super Bowl champion but today he is probably thinking of his little brother's Big 12 championship that the WIldcats have taken ahold of here tonight.

This should be etched on Wilson's tombstone.

I think most people started hating him his sophomore year against missouri.

The whole family needs its own television show. With several episodes in Manhattan. ASAP.
