Mohamed Sanu on Rob Gronkowski’s potential return: ‘Come, man, come’

New England Patriots receiver Mohamed Sanu wouldn’t mind giving up a few touches to tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Gronkowski reentered the news cycle during the Patriots’ bye weekend. Though he has playfully teased a possible return from suspension, he has made zero meaningful indication that he intends to play for New England this season. To some, that’s surprising, because there was speculation he might return for a Patriots’ playoff run, a scenario that Patriots owner Robert Kraft reportedly suggested to Gronk at the end of last season. As unlikely as it may be, Sanu discussed the idea on Monday.

“If he does, I would love it. Just gotta go about it day by day and just do my part. Come, man, come,” Sanu told reporters, via NESN’s Doug Kyed.

The Patriots’ tight end situation has been extremely unsettled since the team  saw Gronk retire. They have looked to tight ends Ben Watson, Matt LaCosse and Ryan Izzo, but haven’t gotten much production. Even with the position struggling, the Patriots receivers and running backs have carried the passing offense, and New England entered Week 10 with the second-most points per game (30).
