NE Patriots Legend Rob Gronkowski Named to Team Hall of Fame

Legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski has been voted into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame as the 38th inductee.

“Gronk” was selected by fan vote after being named one of three finalists alongside Logan Mankins and Adam Vinatieri. This marks his first year of eligibility for the honor. He becomes the fourth straight three-time Super Bowl champion with the Patriots to earn induction, following Julian Edelman (2025), Tom Brady (2024), and Mike Vrabel (2023).

Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft:

Rob Gronkowski’s performance on the field was extraordinary, but it was his infectious energy and consistently positive presence that truly set him apart. He always brightened everyone’s day. He earned the respect of coaches and teammates through his work ethic, preparation and unselfish approach, while redefining what it meant to play his position. Rob became a fan favorite almost immediately and remained the standard at tight end for nearly a decade. We look forward to celebrating his induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame and, in time, the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
