Rob Gronkowski's younger brother Glenn Gronkowski is taking part in this week's Senior Bowl, which means there's a chance he could be playing in the NFL -- and possibly New England -- next season.
In fact, Lil' Gronk, who played fullback at Kansas State, told NFL.com's Chase Goodbread that he had a meeting scheduled with the Patriots on Wednesday night. So what does he think about the prospects of sharing a locker room with his brother?
"That would be awesome," Glenn said. "I've actually never played with any of my brothers before. They've always been too old for me. ... Everyone else has played together, so to be on the same team, that would be a dream come true."
Goodbread points out that all 32 NFL teams have the freedom to interview any and all Senior Bowl participants, so a conversation with Gronkowski may not be indicative of anything more than the Pats doing their due diligence as part of the pre-draft process.
If Gronkowski beats the odds and ends up in New England, it wouldn't be the first time two Gronk brothers played together for Bill Belichick. For five games in 2011, Rob and Dan Gronkowski were teammates. And Chris Gronkowski played for the Cowboys, Colts and Broncos from 2010-2012.
Glenn, 22, is working at tight end this week, and he hopes to impress teams with his versatility. And while he'd welcome the chance to play with his brother, he'd like to catch the attention of the Ravens, one of the few teams that regularly employ a fullback.
In case you're curious, CBSSports.com ranks Gronkowski 147th among all draft prospects, and No. 1 among fullbacks.
