"Well first off, my teammate Cam Brate just asked me the other day, he goes ‘Rob, I have a serious question.’ He goes, ‘Do you ever watch film?’ And I said, ‘No.’ I don’t. I just run by guys. If I’m feeling good, I’m feeling good," Gronkowski said.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I don’t watch film, but I do watch film when the team is showing it. Every once in a while, I’ll watch games, like right now, and study them. I definitely do check the opponent and who’s going to be covering me. And I actually do go up to Tom (Brady) because I do know Tom watches like 40 hours of film a week and I go, ‘Tom who’s covering me, what type of coverages are they doing?’ I go, ‘That’s why I love playing with you Tom, you know everything.’"
