## Resource

Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots legend who made number 87 iconic with three Super Bowls, is surprisingly chill about the team handing it to rookie Romeo Doubs—without even asking. While Gronk insists only Tom Brady’s number 12 should be retired, he’s embracing the legacy shift as the game moves forward. Doubs, fresh off a quiet debut and now potentially stepping up with A.J. Brown sidelined, could be the next chapter in this storied number’s story—all while Gronk heads into the Patriots Hall of Fame this November.
