## Resource

Romeo Doubs just signed with the Patriots and is donning number 87 — the same iconic number once worn by Rob Gronkowski, a legend who defined the franchise with seven thousand yards, seventy-nine touchdowns, and championship magic. While Doubs is a talented receiver, wearing Gronk’s number feels like stepping into a legacy too heavy to carry — especially since past wearers didn’t leave a mark. Fans are questioning whether this move respects the history or risks disrespecting a symbol of New England’s golden era. Maybe Doubs should find a different number to make his own legacy — 87 in New England? That’s a tough act to follow. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
