Buccaneers sign Kyle Rudolph in post-Gronk era
It seems Kyle Rudolph can be no less than a part of the equation on the subject of changing Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay.
Stories surfaced late Wednesday evening that the veteran tight finish had signed a one-year take care of the Bucs, after “Gronk” reiterated that his enjoying profession is completed this week — regardless of what his girlfriend believes.
Rudolph, 32, spent final season with the New York Giants, and previous to that, he was a two-time Professional Bowl choice throughout his 10 years with the Minnesota Vikings (2012, 2017).
Whereas Rudolph has been productive over the course of his 11-year profession, his statistical output would not come near that of Gronkowski’s.
Even final season, which proved to be Gronkowski’s closing season, practically matched the output of Rudolph’s finest season. In 2016-17, Rudolph caught 83 passes for 840 yards and 7 scores. In 2021-22, Gronkowski caught 55 balls for 802 yards and 6 scores.
Gronkowski’s finest particular person 12 months occurred in 2011-12, when he caught 90 passes for 1,327 yards and 17 scores.
Rudolph — who tallied 26 receptions for 257 yards and one landing in 16 video games final season (13 begins) — has by no means had a 1,000-yard receiving season. Gronkowski has had 4.
