Kansas State redshirt junior FB Glenn Gronkowski accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl.
Baby Gronk isn't a defense-crumpling supernova like Patriots TE (and older bro) Rob Gronkowski, but he's a fine contributor at fullback, scoring seven touchdowns in a limited offensive role with the Wildcats over the course of his career. In early January, CBS Sports analyst Dane Brugler pointed out that the 6-foot-3, 234-pound Gronkowski "established himself as one of the better blockers at the college level early in his career." It's this blocking ability that would likely help the fullback earn a draft selection in the later rounds. For better or worse, his name alone could earn him a slight slot bump.
