Patriots' Rob Gronkowski changing his diet to prolong career

New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has changed his diet while cutting out coffee and alcohol, reports Mike Reiss of ESPN.

What It Means:

Gronkowski has "adopted parts of Tom Brady's diet," Reiss writes. The alcohol embargo is only during the season, but it's a notable change from one of the league's most visible party animals. Entering his eighth year in the NFL, the now 28-year-old tight end appears to be making a sincere effort to prioritize his health and prolong his career.

numberFire's models project Gronkowski for 1,014.3 yards and 11.34 touchdowns on 69.0 receptions in 2017. If he can stay on the field, we expect him to finish as the top-ranked tight end in all of fantasy football this season.
