Rob and Chris are brothers who played at the University of Arizona and are both headed for draft day this year. Rob, a tight end is entering the draft early and is expected to go early, a first rounder on many draft boards. Chris, a fullback/h-back/tight end hybrid is hopeful for a later round. And while they very well may end up in different uniforms next season, they will always be tight knit bros.

Story on the whole Gronkowski clan
I decided to test the Gronkowskis with a little Newlywed Game style questioning. Here’s how it worked: I called Chris and asked him several questions about Rob. Then I called Rob and asked him to answer the first set of questions about himself, then answer many of the same questions about Chris. And finally, Chris was called to answer the questions about himself. Let’s see how they did.

As you can see, these brothers are seriously banded, pretty much overlapping each others world – minus the television watching. It will only be fitting if that in some crazy bit of happenstance they wind up suiting up for the same NFL team next season.
