Glendale, AZ

Glendale, AZ is the host city for Super Bowl XLIX. It is also the home of the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes. Click here for the city’s tourism website, if you are planning to be in the area for the big game.

Gronkowski, Rob

Rob Gronkowski does not have a catchy nickname (I mean does “Gronk” count?). In most ways, he is not flashy. But the 6’6″, 265 pound tight end is Tom Brady’s go-to guy in the passing game. This season he was targeted 131 times, 82 of which he caught, producing 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns.

In his five-year career, he has caught 308 passes for 4,379 yards and 54 touchdowns. For his career, Gronkowski averages 14.2 yards per catch (which would be very good for a wide receiver) and 67.4 receiving yards per game. There is no doubt which receiver Brady would ideally like to target when he drops back to pass on Sunday.

The question is, will the Seahawks allow him such a privilege?
