  "account": "Foxborough, Massachusetts - September 10 saw the induction of NFL legend Rob Gronkowski into the New England Patriots' Hall of Fame. The iconic tight end, who spent 9 seasons with the Patriots, narrowly defeated fellow Patriots legends Adam Vinatieri and Logan Mankins in a fan vote to become the 38th inductee. During his time in New England, the Patriots won the AFC East in every season Gronkowski played and made it to five Super Bowls, winning three championships. Known for his incredible 80 total touchdowns (79 receiving and one rushing), Gronkowski holds the record for most receiving yards by a Patriots player with 7,861. His close bond with quarterback Tom Brady proved to be a formidable force on the field. After retiring in March 2019, Gronkowski now works as a broadcaster for the Patriots, with his induction ceremony set for 1 p.m. on Sunday alongside Brady, who will be calling the Patriots vs. Packers game at Gillette Stadium. The inductee will also receive a special tribute during tomorrow's Patriots game on Fox at 4:25 p.m.",
